Through RAN, this project targets to extend the capacities and momentum built in the previous projects by identifying areas of innovation support ecosystem which still need further support in order to strengthen, institutionalize and sustain the ecosystem approach to innovations. The project has mainly two sub areas;
- Identification and support for potentially transformative ideas to transition to scale. This involves scanning the university environment to identify tested innovations that are ready for scale. Diagnostic evaluation to identify transition to scale needs. Providing acceleration support. Implementation of a learning agenda to guide adaptation, institutionalization and strengthening of the scaling ecosystem. Development of tools to support integration of the transition to scale process.
- Strengthening institutionalization cross cutting elements of the support ecosystem for innovators. This involves institutionalizing routine mentorships for walk in innovators. In so doing, this project also aims at supporting the institutionalization of basic skills workshops for innovators.
