Conceptual design and development of innovative products

Again this year, we offer students the opportunity to participate in Summer School CD-DIP - this time from 24 June to 13 July 2012 in Denmark. Focus is on conceptual design and the development of innovative products and that is why it is often called "Innovation Camp". 

Why this focus?

In an increasingly globalised world, it is paramount for the competitiveness of the European industry that the employees are capable of coming up with new innovative ways to define concepts for new designs and for the subsequent production process for new products faster than today. In addition, there is a tendency that the complexity of products is increasing continuously. In order to master the complexity and at the same time produce these faster, it is essential that employees with different disciplinary and cultural backgrounds are able to collaborate efficiently in short windows of opportunities.

Objectives

The objectives of this project is to facilitate better interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary collaboration for BSc and MSc students with different technical backgrounds. PhD students who also have skills to combine their theoretical skills with practical usage will also be able to attend.
