Project duration: 1 January 2018 – 31 December 2020
SaferNanoDesign pioneers novel graduate education and research paradigms for the advancement of the nanotechnology transition.
Objective
Educating current and future entrepreneurs, material engineers, health professionals and scientific leaders in critical raw materials reduction and substitution and safe-by-design products.
The solution (technology)
A problem-based pedagogic approach is used in SaferNanoDesign, combined with teamwork to use the knowledge and skill each participant in the team. Scientist and startupers will meet the students, to discuss ideas with highly qualified professors and young entrepreneurs. They will explore together the different aspects of venturing and starting a company by visiting innovation labs and incubators. An introduction to Creative Thinking will be given, after which students will pitch business ideas in front of a panel of experts.
