SWELL Evaluation 2012

Created lots more contacts with industry

Established empirical+applied testing research in Sweden

All PhD students had close industry collab: a new modus operandi

A national approach unique in this area: Create good PR

Promoted collaboration between research groups

Companies loved the industry days (100+ participants on last)

Dependent on a few, key individuals

Companies want to send employees to courses

fredag 31 januari 14

Traditional Innovation Processes

10-20 years

Consultants

5-15 years and often less objective

Can we shorten this to 1 year and create a cycle?

TIES Lessons Learned so far

Mature companies need more mentoring, less e-learning

Can this scale? Can there be economy in this? Do they expect to pay for this or see it as “uniersity service”?

... TBD
