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 to explore your research or idea's innovative potential over four morning seminars.
Through four morning seminars, LU Innovation's INSIGHTS programme is designed to help you explore the innovative potential in your research or idea — whether you have a clear idea already or are just beginning to wonder what might be possible. No prior experience in idea development is required. We'll start from where you are, and build that understanding together.
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:
You'll have a stronger grasp of early-stage idea development, a clearer sense of your idea's potential value, and knowledge of the support and funding opportunities available through LU Innovation.
Workshop leaders:
- Thomas Rundqvist, Innovation Developer
- Matilda Uddenäs, Innovation Developer
