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 viewpoint on how your ideas or research can lead to important discoveries. We'll delve into your own ideas or research, examining it from new perspectives, and exploring its potential to 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.
