The Community for Educational Innovation (CEI) is a collaborative community of practice uniting educators, institutions, businesses, and policymakers to advance educational innovation across Europe. It offers a platform for exchanging ideas, exploring best practices, and engaging in thematic activities such as webinars and study visits. It fosters dialogue on how to equip learners with key skills, shaping education systems that drive innovation and societal impact. CEI also serves as a hub for institutions using HEInnovate to reflect on their innovation journeys and share experiences.

The Entrepreneurial Potential and Innovation Competences (EPIC) course assessment tool was designed to help educators to measure the effectiveness of their entrepreneurship courses. It can be used to assess the skill and competence development of participants in different entrepreneurship courses, modules, summer schools, bootcamps or training programmes.

The EIT HEI Initiative: Innovation Capacity Building for Higher Education is an EIT Community activity coordinated by EIT RawMaterials. The initiative is central to the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) as part of its new strategy, the EIT Strategic Innovation Agenda 2021−2027. The initiative aims to make higher education institutions (HEIs) more innovative and entrepreneurial. It supports HEIs with expertise and coaching, access to the EIT innovation ecosystem and funding, enabling them to develop innovation action plans complementing their needs.
