15 consortia of SMEs will be selected and accelerated, in order to transform validated concepts into robust business models towards a commercial launch.
About this MOOC
The course runs over ‘12 Weeks’, from April 2021 to July 2021. Each week corresponds with a module, dedicated to a specific innovative domain. Each module is made of 5 uni-ts that deepen the topic of the week through a variety of short videos (6-9 min. length), articles, reports, and short assessments.
In order to build a higher interaction with the lear-ners, each module is made of a part of problem definition and a part of discussion with the forum.
The learners’ required effort for video lectures will be less than one hour per week, and for further activities it will be around 3- 5 hours per week, depending on the specific course.
Requirements
We call on the bold pioneers from across Europe to join us: out of duty, out of necessity, out of opportunism, and out of altruism.
