Summer School on “Entrepreneurship for food product and innovation”: An entrepreneurial perspective on Climate Friendly Convenient Food

The purpose of the summer school is to provide background on topics related to entrepreneurship and state of the art in food processing sustainability, developing creative thinking, innovation and entrepreneurship, with input from researchers,  food entrepreneurs, and industry professionals.

The novelty of this SumS lies firstly, in the curriculum design that targets to holistically address the specific educational needs of a multidisciplinary target group, and secondly on the fact that this educational product is targeting a dynamic sector that eagers for solutions today, if not yesterday.

To achieve this the program utilizes the flipped classroom concept, where 2 weeks online learning is combined with 5 days ONLINE bootcamp. This approach can guarantee that all students at the in-class teaching will be in a position to follow the trainers & maximize their effective involvement during the interactive exercises.

During the in-class challenge, program students are formed in groups to develop & pitch their ideas, practice business cases in front of mentors.
