The European University Association has drawn on members’ experiences of pursuing their innovation mission in line with local, national and European developments, to draw up an overarching innovation agenda. This outlines the key themes and objectives for the university sector as a whole and for EUA specifically, taking into account the diverse profiles and innovation activities of its membership and of European universities at large. The document will help to ensure that the importance and value of university innovation for society are recognised and strengthened by national and European policy makers, funding agencies, and universities themselves.
