Main objective o to raise the awareness among the European Universities about the importance of Open innovation as a subject to be integrated into the curriculum in all study programmes, at different levels – bachelor, master, Ph.D.

Main expected result o better trained, more innovative graduates, ready to transfer their ideas for the benefit of the companies they are working for, their own benefit and, ultimately, producing high added value for the society, in general

Tasks o analyzing, comparing and developing the Open innovation curricula and education in Europe by two main directions: (1) ⁻to collect and analyze the compendium on existing curricula on innovation, OI, and Global Innovation Management (GIM) in Europe and ⁻to define the role of implementing the multi-disciplinary approach to OI in higher education. (2) ⁻to develop the indicators and progress markers for OI curricula in HE in Europe.
