Details of Training Plan

There are many unknown factors for research to business and no recipes. It will not happen fast. We will need to create own capacity to facilitate how our research can come to next level. We can build our capacity by sharing experiences, examples and create knowledge transfer.

The training consists of 10 transfer of knowledge topics. These serve as exercises to understand the general principle of business from research cases.

Each participant will have their specific Research impact assignment. This is taken from your own case. You will describe this and build a research towards business roadmap. Each participant will get support and feedback by the lecturer and experts. It will act to build experience in describing potential business roadmap and impact from your research.
