The plan is envisaged to be a “living document” that express the Board’s decision to ensure that the Foundation is and remains characterised as a Public Benefit Organisation in the long term and that permits the Foundation Board to have the Policy Plan reviewed at least once every 3 years.

Activities

Presently, InnoEnergy organises five MSc programmes (hereinafter “InnoEnergy Masters+ Programmes”) in collaboration with some of Europe’s top technical universities and business schools. The role of the Master School Management is to gather all Masters+ programmes under the same umbrella and thereby homogenise processes, including student application/evaluation/admission, coordinate quality improvement actions, coordinate marketing and bench-marking towards external educational programmes, and design, implement and execute the InnoEnergy Masters+ dashboard for monitoring at all possible levels. As from 2017, all these activities have been transferred to the Foundation.
The aim is to have around 200-250 new students per year to the InnoEnergy Masters+ programmes. Since 2017, the following activities will be organised or funded by the Foundation for the enrolled students:

Tuition fees to universities

Students participating in InnoEnergy Masters+ programmes are required to pay a participation fee of up to €19.000, €15.000, €14.000 or €8.000 per academic year for the intake 2025/2026. The amount depends on whether the student receives a partial waiver or not. This participation fee will be used to cover both the tuition fee for the universities where the students will study and the organisation of the added-value activities in the programme. Self-paying students will pay this fee to the Foundation. For scholarship students, the Foundation will receive an EIT grant to cover these costs.

Added-value activities for students to universities

Each InnoEnergy Masters+ programme organises a specific set of ´added-value activities´ for students, focusing on entrepreneurship, innovation and personal development. They consist, for example, of Entrepreneurship Summer Schools at ESADE, Innovation and Entrepreneurship journeys or case-study training.
The costs of these activities will be financed for all students in the InnoEnergy Masters+ programmes. For self-paying students, the costs will be covered from their participation fees. For scholarship students, it will be covered by the EIT grant.

Master’s School Management and Marketing

The Foundation will also be responsible for the joint activities in the InnoEnergy Masters+ programmes (i.e. the Master School Management). This has both an operational and a more strategic side consisting of the coordination and implementation of activities initiated at central level for Teachers and Students, as well as building InnoEnergy’s identity in the education communities while also strengthening the common aspects of the InnoEnergy Masters+ programmes.
