How it works

Choose program

Select the program your organisation wants to undertake to help you accelerate your external engagement.

Create core team

Each participating organisation will form a core team of up to six representatives ranging from university leadership, research, academic and professional staff responsible for engagement.

Drive internal change

The core team will participate in the group events, work collaboratively with UIIN and external experts and act as ambassadors within their organisation to drive the program and implement the recommendations.

Network and connect

After the program, network and learn from other organisations who are going through similar changes as part of the UIIN global community.

Empowering institutions to lead transformative change

“In the build-up of our new in-house innovation unit, UiO participated in the Entrepreneurial Universities program. Through the tutoring from UIIN, their survey of UiO and by engaging with fellow participants, we acquired new insight into our university which we brought with us to build a robust foundation for the unit. As a continuation [in 2022] UiO engaged UIIN to run a bespoke Strategic Partnership program to again learn, map out and implement best practice for industrial collaborations at our university.”

Nicolay Berard-Andersen

Innovation Advisor, University of Oslo

“As a smaller specialist institution, we really benefitted from UIIN’s support and involvement through the combination of guided teamwork, focus groups and survey, to really understand the challenges and opportunities in strategic partnerships for the RVC. It is always difficult in implementing new ways of working, but this program has provided us with understanding of the challenges and opportunities within our culture, and the tools to enable us to support the RVC better in its knowledge exchange ambitions.”

Dr. Emma Tomlinson

Head of Research Development, Royal Veterinary College

"The program provided the opportunity to focus our attention on international best practice. It enabled a greater understanding of the tools and support structures required to strategically partner. The design of the program provided access to industry thought leaders and global perspectives at the forefront of university and industry engagement."
