Research, business, technologies, and policies are increasingly interdependent.
Threats and opportunities come from several directions such as price changes due to geopolitical factors, customers’ orientation towards green products, legislations supporting environmental sustainability, digital technologies, and Artificial Intelligence breaking into every sector.
Innovative solutions require collaboration across different disciplines and the involvement of different stakeholders. Sometimes the success of an innovation is dependent on systemic changes, like in the case of electric vehicles.
The summer school - Pathways to Innovation and Entrepreneurship - will build new competencies to deal with and take the most advantage of this interdependent and changing world.
This week-long training comprises five interconnected modules that aim to cultivate a trans-disciplinary approach to produce societally relevant, innovative, and scientifically robust knowledge on sustainability transformations that transcend established boundaries between science and society.
Bridging engineering, natural, and social sciences, this training aims to facilitate knowledge sharing, empowering participants to devise innovative solutions to industry and societal challenges. With an emphasis on developing an entrepreneurial mindset, and fostering critical and evaluative thinking, this course delves into deep tech and social research initiatives within society's digitization.
