The impact of my research: bridging knowledge to people needs - 22, 29 may, 5 june 2025
The course aims to create awareness in researchers of the importance of their work for changing people's lives using an approach that actively engages them in identifying the unique innovation potential of their research and matching it to people's needs.
The course is multidisciplinary and uses cross-sectorial teams to mimic the process of industrial innovation. During class hours, students learn the ropes of the key steps of the technology transfer process as teams, but at the end of each lesson, students are given an individual assignment to ground what they have learned to their own research, to present, at the end of the course, a pitch with Technology Transfer experts and investors to unveil its innovation potential.
