Entrepreneurship | Edinburgh’s Innovation Career Pathway: Building an entrepreneurial culture

In this episode, we explore how academic innovation can be recognised, rewarded and embedded in university career structures with Kirsty Collinge, Head of Research Strategy at the University of Edinburgh.We unpack how the University of Edinburgh is rethinking academic career structures to recognise and reward innovation more explicitly. From developing an innovation career pathway across recruitment, promotion and learning development to creating a shared language for innovation across disciplines, the conversation examines how universities can move beyond rhetorical support for entrepreneurship toward a more embedded, equitable and institution-wide model for academic innovation.
