5. 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.
