IIC
Institution Innovation Council
Purpose of IIC
IICs’ role is to engage a large number of faculty, students, and staff in various innovation and entrepreneurship-related activities such as Ideation, Problem-solving, Proof of Concept development, Design Thinking, IPR, project handling, and management at the Pre-incubation/Incubation center. It ensures that the innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem gets established and stabilized in HEIs.
The IIC model is designed to address the existing challenges/issues in HEIs such as fewer numbers, occasional and unplanned Innovation & Entrepreneurship (I&E) activities organized in HEIs with low involvement of top leadership, lack of coherence, and absence of synergy in resource mobilization, deployment and underutilization of creative potential of youths as a major barrier for vibrant I&E ecosystem to emerge from HEIs.
