University–industry collaboration produces networks that may be capable of innovations, such as novel products and services. The collaboration projects also need to benefit student learning, yet teachers have little clarity with regard to innovation competence development. Individual innovation competence is a set of personal characteristics, knowledge, skills and attitudes that are connected to create concretised and implemented novelties via collaboration in complex innovation processes. The paper reports on the findings from the development and validation of an individual innovation competence assessment tool. The aim is to determine which individual innovation competences are significant in university–industry collaboration and which of these competences are sensitive to educational interventions. The study used a three-phase method involving development of the questionnaire items, validation in teacher and student panels, and a pilot pre- and post-survey study. All seven domains of individual innovation competences were significant and sensitive to educational intervention (a multidisciplinary innovation project conducted with industry). The most responsive competence domains regarding change were concretisation and implementation planning skills, and project management skills. The paper concludes with application opportunities for the tool and recommendations for further research.

大学与产业的合作产生了可能具有创新能力的网络，例如新颖的产品和服务。合作项目也需要有利于学生的学习，但教师对创新能力的发展却知之甚少。个人创新能力是一组个人特征、知识、技能和态度，这些特征、知识、技能和态度通过在复杂创新过程中的协作来创造具体和实施的新颖性。该论文报告了个人创新能力评估工具的开发和验证结果。目的是确定哪些个人创新能力在大学与产业合作中具有重要意义，哪些能力对教育干预敏感。该研究使用了三阶段方法，包括问卷项目的开发、教师和学生小组的验证以及调查前和调查后的试点研究。个人创新能力的所有七个领域都对教育干预（与行业进行的多学科创新项目）具有重要意义和敏感性。对变革反应最快的能力领域是具体化和实施规划技能，以及项目管理技能。本文最后给出了该工具的应用机会和进一步研究的建议。个人创新能力的所有七个领域都对教育干预（与行业进行的多学科创新项目）具有重要意义和敏感性。对变革反应最快的能力领域是具体化和实施规划技能，以及项目管理技能。本文最后给出了该工具的应用机会和进一步研究的建议。个人创新能力的所有七个领域都对教育干预（与行业进行的多学科创新项目）具有重要意义和敏感性。对变革反应最快的能力领域是具体化和实施规划技能，以及项目管理技能。本文最后给出了该工具的应用机会和进一步研究的建议。
