Inspiring Places of Higher Education

This dataset presents the information on the innovation spaces presented in the National Platform of Inspiring Places of Higher Education proposed by the Directorate-General for Higher Education and Vocational Integration (DGESIP).

An innovation space can be:

• an informal learning space where it is possible to learn without this being the primary vocation of the space, thanks to its layout and ergonomics: Hall, cafeteria, co-working space etc...
• a formal learning space linked to an interactive pedagogical using in particular digital tools: for example, an educational space in a Learning Center or in a Learning Lab; in the presence of a teacher or not: for example, a collaborative working room; whether or not students are present: for example, a course recording studio.

A Learning Centre or Learning Centre combines a range of premises, equipment, documentary resources and services.

A LearningLab is a place and ecosystem of experimentation and innovation on new forms of work and collaborative learning.

A fablab is a place open to the public that provides technical, technological and human resources that meet a personal or collective need.

The collection of information is carried out on a voluntary basis from French higher education institutions. You can add your inspirational space via the #Dialogue platform (For more information, contact espaces.innovation@enseignementsup.gouv.fr).
