The Malta College of Arts, Science and Technology (MCAST) hosted the 6th General Assembly of the European Network of Innovative Higher Education Institutions (ENIHEI), a consortium of 38 European institutions distinguished for their contributions to the continent’s innovation ecosystem. Established by the European Commission in 2022, ENIHEI promotes collaboration to advance the European Strategy for Universities and the New European Innovation Agenda. The two-day Assembly, held on 23–24 October at the MCAST Resource Centre Auditorium, focused on strengthening the network’s future role in cultivating an innovation-driven culture within higher education. A key outcome was the establishment of a new Steering Committee, chaired by MCAST’s Deputy Principal - Research and Student Academic Management Dr Tatjana Chircop, marking the transition of the network’s coordination from the University of Salamanca to MCAST. This milestone reflects the College’s expanding leadership in European innovation and higher education. The Assembly reaffirmed ENIHEI’s mission to facilitate knowledge exchange, foster collective innovation, and support higher education’s crucial role in driving innovation, developing talent, and nurturing creativity and entrepreneurship.
