Department of Education Innovation Workshop

Location: Open Innovations - 3rd Floor - Munro House - Duke Street - LS9 8AG Leeds

Date: -

This innovation event provides two opportunities: find out more about the competition and the data; and develop some early concepts of your entry and test them out with an engaged audience. The Department for Education (DfE) is exploring ways to create the most value from its data on graduate outcomes to help prospective higher education students make better decisions about their future. The Higher Education Open Data Competition (ODC) is looking for ideas on how to create accessible, sustainable, and innovative digital tools for prospective students using the Longitudinal Education Outcomes (LEO) earnings data and selected government datasets. The competition is open to both organisations and individuals. We welcome applications from any sector or discipline and will be hosted through Innovate UK's Small Business Research Initiative (SBRI) webpage. The competition will open on 25 June with a deadline for applications by noon on 15 August. After the warm up events held during the first week of July, this innovation event provides two opportunities: find out more about the competition and the data; and develop some early concepts of your entry and test them out with an engaged audience. You can bring your concepts with you or find team-mates at the event.

Closed for co-working
