Becoming an entrepreneurial university is one of the core objectives of the EU-OECD HEInnovate tool. This objective was also the catalyst for implementing HEInnovate within the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Aveiro (UAVR), Portugal.

Entrepreneurial learning and teaching were found to be especially important for creating collaborative networks between different people and scientific domains, both within and outside of the university.
