Sprint Innovation Festival

Sprint Innovation Festival includes a week-long intensive course and a pre-meeting/pre-assignment. During the course, teams of students will resolve real-world company challenges under a tight schedule. You will be using a variety of methods that require both creativity and problem-solving skills.

At the end of the course, the teams will present their ideas to a jury that selects the best ideas. The winning teams will be awarded at an end-of-course gala.

Sprint Intensive Festival can be combined with an online course exploring future trends, which carries 3 credits, in which case the total number of credits awarded to students is 5. 

Sprint Innovation Festival is an intensive course during which you will team up with your fellow students from different fields to develop solutions to real-life cases provided by a variety of companies and organisations.

Support from coaches and experts

Coaches, experts and company representatives will guide you throughout the innovation project using a variety of methods and tools.   
 
Upon completion of the course, you will:  

• have the knowledge and skills to launch and carry out an innovation process; 
• be able to turn an idea into a solution and sell it to a customer (pitching); 
• have the ability to work effectively in a multidisciplinary team and combine knowledge and expertise from different fields. 

At Pre-Sprint on 1st November 2022 we will orientate together and you get to know the team you will work with during the event week.

Sprint Innovation Festival is organized 7.-11.11.2022.

Book full days on each day on your calendar during the event week!

To pass the course, you must attend and take active part in the day-long sessions included in the Sprint Innovation Festival. You must analyse and reflect on the assignment independently and with your team members and ask questions to clarify the assignment. You must demonstrate your ability to generate and present ideas, develop solutions, provide feedback and contribute to debate and discussion within your team. You must be able to independently describe the process, stages and results of your team’s innovation project.  

A student will receive a failing grade if they miss more than one of the day-long sessions without presenting a medical certificate.  A student who is unable to describe the stages, methods and results of the assignment may also fail the course.
