18 Education for innovation! Education and training Study organisation (curriculum, syllabus) How broad or narrow? Should some specific fields be privileged? Should it be skill-based? Skills Pedagogy Which pedagogies are the most effective in fostering simultaneously all the sets of skills? Innovation Assessment How to give equal weight in assessments to all sets of skills for innovation? Are admissions, evaluation, accreditation, assessment aligned with the valued objectives?

19 Higher education for innovation! Education and training Skills Innovation What are the links between fields of study, pedagogy, skills for innovation and innovation?

20 Innovation and the relative emphasis on practice- and theory-based instruction!

26 Conclusions! Need to develop simultaneously several sets of skills for different types of innovation processes: Education and training What innovations do we need in higher education? Institutional change? (Aalto University in Finland; Olin College of Engineering in the US; etc. Pedagogical change? More practiceoriented teaching and learning? Skills Innovation New programmes? Design thinking at Stanford University, EMLyon Business school and Ecole Centrale de Lyon (France); entrepreneurial education at Centre for Entrepreneuship (Amsterdam university) How shall we change student, faculty, and institution assessment tools and criteria to achieve this objective?
