Warwick has always drawn strength from the innovative and entrepreneurial spirit of its community. The Innovation Fund has been launched to make sure this fantastic resource is utilised to the full in these financially difficult times and to further sustain Warwick in the future.

The Innovation Fund aims to facilitate community spirit and give everyone a voice. This is your opportunity to submit your ideas for the future development of the University.

The Fund will consider any ideas, large or small, regarding how the University can generate more income, so long as they are commercially viable, support Warwick’s ethics and culture and lead to a surplus which can then be used to invest in the University’s future development.

Visit our advice page for more information on what kind of qualities the Fund is looking for.

Ideas will be evaluated by an informal ‘Entrepreneurial Group’, chaired by the Registrar with members drawn from across the University. If the idea is successful, the Group will assist the submitter to develop it by establishing contacts with appropriate colleagues and services around the University, facilitating connections and maximising opportunities.

The Group meets every 4 to 6 weeks and feedback will be provided to submitters on an ongoing basis.
