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 four morning seminars, LU Innovation's INSIGHTS programme is designed to help you explore the innovative potential in your research or idea — whether you have a clear idea already or are just beginning to wonder what might be possible. No prior experience in idea development is required. We'll start from where you are, and build that understanding together.

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. 

Who can apply?

Researchers, doctoral students and master’s students at Lund University who want to explore the potential of their idea or research. (We reserve the right to limit the number of master's students in order to ensure balance.)
