Empowering Staff and Students for Green & Digital Innovations

About

The project BIKE-HEI (‘Boosting Innovative and Knowledge-based Entrepreneurship of HEIs’) aims to enhance business opportunities for innovative and knowledge-based entrepreneurs by applying artificial intelligence in the fields of environmental protection, climate action, and the green economy. It also seeks to promote entrepreneurship and spin-off support services within HEIs and to strengthen their role in regional innovation ecosystems.

The BIKE-HEI Training Programme on Sustainable Innovation and Entrepreneurship aims to empower students, academic staff, and non-academic staff in higher education institutions (HEIs) with the knowledge and skills needed to foster sustainability-driven innovation ecosystems. Trainers include experts from the University of Alicante, the University of Primorska, Saarland University, and Mariupol State University, offering real-world insights and interactive teaching.

Developed by a consortium of European universities, this interdisciplinary course covers key topics such as:

  • Foundations of the green transition
  • Sustainable start-ups
  • Green communication skills
  • Resilient management
  • Digital tools for greener workplaces
  • Sustainable academic practices (e.g., events, travel, catering).
