Innovation Challenges

Join a challenge program to build skills in ideation, creativity & problem solving. It is for students who want to get their hands dirty with real-life problems, who want to learn new methods for idea generation and development of new solutions.

Our challenges focus on teamwork and methods for problem understanding, collaboration with stakeholders and the early phase of idea development. The program is designed around specific challenges in close collaboration with problem-holders.

The innovation program is open for all students and researchers at the entire University of Copenhagen and other educational institutions, as we want to put together students in interdisciplinary teams to provide as many perspectives as possible to the real life challenges.
