INSIGHTS
Are you curious about innovation? Or, do you want to know how your idea or research can make a difference in society? Join us for INSIGHTS.
Through a series of four morning seminars, LU Innovation's INSIGHTS programme is designed to help you examine how your research or idea can create meaningful change. No prior experience in idea development is required—we'll start out on this journey together.
This programme offers you the opportunity to see your idea or research from different perspectives, and learn to talk about your idea in a way that engages others.
What the programme includes:
- Four 1-hour morning seminars providing key knowledge about innovation.
- Independent work between sessions with personalised feedback from LU Innovation advisors.
- Estimated total time commitment: approximately 10 hours over 2 months.
Our sessions will focus on key themes such as 'need', 'approach', 'benefit' and 'competition, providing a new perspective on how your ideas or research can benefit others, and change traditional ways of doing things. To finish our journey, we'll discuss how to take your innovative ideas to the next stage, together with us.
After the programme:
Upon completing the programme, you'll have a deeper understanding of the early stages of idea development and a clearer vision of your idea's potential worth for your target users or customers. You'll also understand how to start transform developing your idea or research insights into a practical solution. Furthermore, you'll be aware of the support offered by LU Innovation and have the chance to seek funds to further develop your concept.
Workshop leaders:
- Lisa Evyr, Innovation Developer
- Magnus Gäfvert, Innovation Developer
