Summer 2025 Innovation Programme with Demola
Design Thinking | Developing an idea | Multidisciplinary team skills | Problem Solving
Practical training, work for yourself – Complete the summer innovation program with Demola and earn 10 credits!
For 15 years, Demola has provided university students with the opportunity to participate in innovation projects, creating new concepts for future needs. Interdisciplinary teams are formed by students who share an interest in the project topic and the opportunity to showcase the kind of world that should exist in the future. Project themes range from sustainable development and business topics to societal and workplace changes, as well as the adoption of new technologies. Teams own the results of their work.
You can complete the course either as a higher education internship or as a 10-credit course. For more information, see the section “Completion options and enrollment”
Please note that participation in the project is full-time, and it requires approximately 35 hours of work per week!
The 8-week process focuses on concrete innovation work, utilizing tools from service design, foresight, and systemic thinking. Creativity, curiosity, and optimistic thinking also develop during the process. Demola’s experts assist and mentor teams throughout the process. The working language in our program is English.
