INNOVATION LAB : WHY AND HOW

WHY

- Provide access for companies to the university of applied science for their questions regarding innovation

- Provide real problems to students (motivation increases)

- Students learn to design, test and realize solutions

- Students can choose from a wide variety of subjects

INNOVATION LAB : WHY AND HOW

HOW (for companies) :

- Companies (or research institutes) contact HvA via website:

http://www.hva.nl/kc-techniek/onderzoek/innovatielab/innovatielab.html

- Selection of suitable cases on criteria:

- Innovation ?

- Do we have the equipment needed?

- Which level? (second year student, or more towards bachelor level)

- Is it mono-disciplinary of multi-disciplinary ?

INNOVATION LAB : WHY AND HOW

HOW (matching):

- Intake with company

- If yes: then presentation at ‘meet and match) for students

- Students can choose. So a boring presentation can have consequences !

INNOVATION LAB : RESULTS

INNOVATION LAB : RESULTS

INNOVATION LAB : INTEGRATION

• Integrated in study programme

• Links to research education

• Links to design education

• Students learn how to deal with real clients

• Workshops in design and in research skills

INNOVATION LAB : FUTURE

• Innovation lab is the heart of the curriculum

• More multidisciplinairy work

• Students of all levels

• Even more integration with research programme

• Long-term relationships with companies

RESEARCH AND THE INNOVATION LAB

Inge Oskam, professor Technical Innovation & Entrepreneurship

Research programma Urban Technology

RESEARCH PROGRAMME URBAN TECHNOLOGYSOLUTIONS FOR A SUSTAINABLE, LIVEABLE AND CONNECTED CITY

1. Sustainable: efficient use of materials, water and energy with sustainable technologies and new business models.

2. Liveable: improving quality of life of inhabitants and users of the metropole.

3. Connected: realising smart connections, both locally and worldwide.

RESEARCH PROGRAMME URBAN TECHNOLOGYSOLUTIONS FOR A SUSTAINABLE, LIVEABLE AND CONNECTED CITY

• Applied research for smart technological solutions for the city

• Research, design, prototyping and implementation

• Metropole Amsterdam is our field lab where these solutions are realised and tested

• Together with companies, organisations and knowledge partners in the Metropole Amsterdam, for example through partnership with Amsterdam Smart City

• Faculty of Technology in collaboration with faculty of Digital Media & Creative Industries and faculty of Economics & Management

• 9 professors with 60 (parttime) researchers (teacher-researchers, PhD’s, researchers, research trainees)

• 4 knowlege areas and 2 cross themes:

RESEARCH & THE INNOVATION LAB

Preparing students for applied research, by

• working on actual innovation/research questions • from practice (companies, entrepreneurs, universities)• from the research programme Urban Technology

• improving research skills • exploring the problem (literature, observations, interviews, etc.)• exploring the solution (experimenting, prototyping, testing, etc.)

• improving collaboration skills• in multidisciplinary teams• with entrepreneurs and scientists
