I am pleased to announce the details of our Innovation Staff Week, taking place from the 13th to the 16th of October 2019 at Corvinus University of Budapest.

This staff week will offer a great opportunity to work and build a network around this theme with HE peers from all over Europe.

The programme is designed to provide participants with the following:

- a discussion and reflection on the role of universities: how that role has been changing over time and how HEIs can be prepared to respond 21st-Century challenges,

- presentations and group discussions to support the design and delivery of innovation strategies and actions,

- the exchange of good practices under the following matters: supporting institutional environment, innovation in teaching and learning, digitalisation, entrepreneurial development, Third Mission, knowledge management in HEIs,

- insight on the state of the art of innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystems of the participating universities,

- discussions on current collaboration and future project opportunities.

As you will see on the detailed programme, Th!nkTalk presentations will be held on the first day. We invite you, if you wish, to do your own presentation during those Th!nkTalk sessions.

Please find the programme and the information on the registration fee attached to this email.
