The Contamination Lab (UNIPI) is pleased to present the first edition of the I-Lab, “Co-creation and Innovation for the Territory”, a dynamic program designed to equip participants with cutting-edge skills and tools to tackle today’s challenges and drive meaningful change. Three webinars of the program are open to MA and PhD students from Circle U. and the Start for Future network.
This initiative is developed within Circle U. WP5 for Innovation and Societal Engagement as a collaboration between UCLouvain and University of Pisa, with the pedagogical support of the CU.til platform.
Discover three transformative approaches to addressing complex problems and sparking innovation: Design Thinking, Systems Thinking, and Participatory Project Design. Through engaging online webinars filled with practical examples, participants will gain essential skills to rethink complexity and develop creative, sustainable solutions.
Participants who complete all three online webinars and pass a short, straightforward test will be awarded a digital micro-credential in the form of an open badge, certified by the University of Pisa. This badge officially recognizes the skills, knowledge, and abilities gained and can be shared with organizations or employers to build valuable connections between students, educators, and businesses.
