Abstract: Higher education institutions (HEIs) are increasingly expected to contribute to regional development and transformative innovation and a diversity of EU funding initiatives look to translate this strategic agenda across diverse institutional and territorial contexts. The European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) has as an objective to increasingly capture the regional dimension through developing links to Smart Specialisation Strategies (RIS3), and, through its pilot HEI Initiative, to increase the innovation and entrepreneurial capacity of HEIs and better integrate them into with their innovation ecosystems. This report explores the varying role of, or approach to, this initiative in strengthening HEI’s contribution to and participation in territorial transformation, and aligning the different university missions to connect HEI entrepreneurship and innovation to the territory.
