On 10 November, the European University Association (EUA) will present the preliminary findings of its first-ever survey on innovation at European universities. The event will take place in Brussels with the participation of Mariya Gabriel, Commissioner for Innovation, Research, Culture, Education and Youth. It will also be streamed online so that all interested persons, including members of the press, will have the opportunity to join.
Policy makers, university leaders and other research and innovation actors will discuss the findings and analyse a Europe-wide picture of university innovation. They will also discuss EUA’s key recommendations to enhance universities’ contribution to European innovation ecosystems. The outcomes will contribute to the development of the Commission’s upcoming plan for strengthening the pan-European innovation ecosystem.
The EUA survey findings are based on data from 166 institutions in 28 European countries. They capture the different levels of innovation capacity at European universities, as well as how these levels contribute to a wide range of impacts and social outcomes. EUA will publish the complete survey report in early 2022.
Registration is mandatory to attend the event in Brussels only; no registration is necessary for watching the streaming online.
