It is an exciting and important time to focus on the future potential of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs).

About Accelerate Future HEI

HEIs can positively impact regional and Europe-wide social and economic development through education, research and engagement. However, they require targeted support to enhance their capability to fully realise their potential.

Accelerate Future HEI will develop and test acceleration services, to equip HEIs with the skills and capacity to drive  institutional transformation towards becoming more entrepreneurial and innovative institutions over the next four years.
