The Education Innovation Centre
The EIC is a state-of-the-art centre for the innovation and development of teaching and learning at UWE. This centre puts the student experience at the forefront of flexible, accessible, relevant, and innovative learning opportunities.
The centre is part of the university's strategic partnership with Hewlett Packard and their partners and will draw on their expertise, equipment development, and enterprise activities to research, develop, and operationalize new and rich learning opportunities.
The EIC is all about collaboration. We run open days, seminars, and hands-on workshops for colleagues to develop their aspirations in teaching and learning. We work with national and international universities and researchers on collaborative projects to enhance the student learning experience.
