The EIT’s HEI Initiative – Innovation Capacity Building for Higher Education, is a pan-European project that aims at helping higher education institutions to build capacity to teach innovation and entrepreneurship. The EIT’s HEI Initiative organises annual calls for proposals, inviting European higher education institutions to design institution-wide action plans in which they have to train and mentor a minimum number of students, academic and non-academic staff in entrepreneurship and innovation fields, and also support start-ups through services like mentoring and consultancy.

In the context of the EIT’s HEI Initiative, EIT Urban Mobility is leading the creation of the HEI Initiative Alumni community, connecting the students, academic and non-academic staff trained, as well as the start-up founders supported. As a first step towards the establishment of this community, we will design a survey addressed to the HEI Initiative alumni in order to collect some data on them with the double objective of creating a database that will allow the KICs to have a direct communication with the Alumni, and of being able to analyse their profile, interests and expectations to build a strategy for the future of the community.

The focus of this Request for Proposals is on two specific tasks of the HEI Initiative Alumni work package:

Events are an important component of EIT Urban Mobility’s communications strategy and play a pivotal role and channel for disseminating the success and impact of EIT Urban Mobility. Relevant events range from internally organised events such as the annual EIT Urban Mobility flagship event (Tomorrow.Mobility World Congress); to smaller, governance and business cycle generated meetings such as the General Assembly.

• Internal events such as matchmaking events and workshops, serve to build cohesion within EIT Urban Mobility partnership and to keep partners informed and involved to motivate them to contribute to all ongoing EIT Urban Mobility activities. Internal events also serve to enhance synergies, for mutual learning, collaborations, and shared value creation.

• External events include events organised by EIT Urban Mobility and its Innovation Hubs which are open to non-partners and events where EIT Urban Mobility has an active role. Organised by the KIC itself may be networking events, events at local level to connect with the citizens, thematic events related to specific areas of expertise, hackathons, etc.

• Tomorrow.Mobility World Congress, EIT Urban Mobility’s annual flagship event, taking place yearly in November in Barcelona (Spain). The congress is co-organised by Fira Barcelona and taking place alongside a well-established event, Smart City Expo World Congress, thereby creating a congress of global reach for maximum impact.

EIT Urban Mobility wishes to appoint several external moderators/facilitators to support our work across a portfolio of activities covering Innovation, Impact Ventures, Education, Citizen Engagement, City Club, Regional Innovation Scheme (RIS), Market Development and its Innovation Hubs (regional offices). Independent external moderators/facilitators may assist in a wide array of activities such as events, meetings, workshops, etc. Skills, professional experience, and expertise linked to any of EIT Urban Mobility’s priorities are welcome.
