The Silver Badge

Once you have your Bronze Badge, you can apply and progress to the Silver Badge.

This video will help you understand what you need to do to get a Silver Badge.

You can click here to download the Letter of Support to apply for the Silver Badge. After that, check the following steps

  • Create a small team of three (or more) staff members
  • As a team, using the dedicated Template below, create an Entrepreneurial Vision Statement, one that is aligned with your University’s/HEI’s eHEI Profile and organisational strategy. This Statement should reflect what you and your team are aiming to achieve to help your University/HEI become more entrepreneurial

Identify one of HEInnovate’s eight dimensions that you feel will help achieve this vision & read about and download the eHEI Cards which you will use with your team.

  • Read one Card (all team members read the same card), and discuss and identify one action from this card that will help you achieve the Entrepreneurial Vision Statement you have created for your University/HEI
  • Discuss each action within the team and prioritise the top three actions using the ‘Plan to Action’ template (to be completed by the team).
