The European Academic Network for Open Innovation (OI-Net) is designed to promote cooperation in European Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) jointly with European practitioners associations, socio-economic actors and R&D centres for the benefit of the European economy. Open Innovation (OI) is recognised by the EU as a key a challenge for European competitiveness and to recover the crisis (DG Enterprise, CONNECT, Research). This ambitious network of 52 partners is an answer to the call of academia, public and private bodies to enhance the quality of education in the field of OI to introduce the OI to the teaching curricula and to make OI an academic discipline as such. OI-Net contributes to enhancing quality of teaching in HE, defining and developing a European dimension of OI by exchanging methodologies & best practices.
OI-Net will:
- Consolidate the European initiatives by comparing and developing curricula and HE practices in the framework of open innovation
- Facilitate European cooperation by outlining and exchanging up-to-date concepts, and best practices in OI education - Identify the needs, challenges, and obstacles of public and private sector in the exploitation of OI education - Exchange and disseminate best practices to lead to effective development of education but also finding new policies and developing the governance in HEIs
- Define a Common Curricula Framework on OI in HE transmitted into pilot courses under an innovative collaborative on-line community system where all participants will contribute in an enhanced wiki approach (modules, cases, multimedia, etc.). This OI-Net Platform, open to all partners, will enable a-la-carte education to fit
multiple learning outcomes and pedagogical needs of target groups.
OI-Net will develop a leading European Community of Practice in OI and OI in HE (collaborative websites, journal, on-line European OI curricula via the academic Akari platform, an observatory/think-tank on OI issues in HE) 165 |
