In 1997, eleven European universities came together to establish the European Consortium of Innovative Universities (ECIU). The consortium is a group of universities dedicated to the development of an innovative culture in their institutions, and to a catalytic role for innovation in industry and society. All have academic strengths in engineering and social science; all are relatively young, entrepreneurial, and progressive; and all have close ties to industry and to the regions in which they are situated. They are committed to developing and implementing new forms of teaching, training, and research; to developing an innovative culture within their walls; to experimenting with new forms of management and administration; and to sustaining and nurturing internationally minded staff. == Mission == The ECIU’s mission is: * To contribute to the development of a knowledge-based European economy, with inclusion of ECIU overseas members (Associate Partners). * To build on existing innovation and to enhance quality in the member institutions, in the areas of: international collaboration; teaching and learning; regional development; technology transfer; and staff and student development. * To develop collaborative educational programmes, by building on research and teaching strengths within the member institutions. * To act as an ‘agent of change’ by serving as an example of best practice and by influencing debate and policy on the future direction for European higher education.
