Resumen

Measuring innovation in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) is challenging due to the existing rankings’ reliance on limited indicators like publications and patents. This study proposes a comprehensive model for HEI innovation evaluation. It identifies four key dimensions: management processes, academic programs, partnerships, and marketing. Over 60 indicators within these dimensions provide a thorough assessment of the HEI innovation capacity. This model enables benchmarking against similar institutions, tracking innovation progress over time, and informing decision-making for enhancing innovation within HEIs. It offers a more accurate and useful approach for evaluating and strengthening innovation in Higher Education. © (2025), (Fundacao Cesgranrio). All rights reserved.
