We look forward to stimulating discussions about the contributions of the PhD candidates and are excited about the opportunity to network and gain valuable insights!
In line with Edinburgh’s strategic vision for Data-Driven Innovation making the city Europe’s Data Capital by 2030, the NITIM 2023 Graduate School (alongside ICE 2023 Conference), had a specific focus on data-driven engineering, innovation and entrepreneurship. We specifically discussed socio-technical issues in engineering, how these shape the design of products and services, and what innovation, technology, and entrepreneurial processes are involved.
The Doctoral school featured two special keynotes:
Geography of Innovation and Entrepreneurship Prof Fumi Kitagawa, University of Birmingham
Deep History of Innofusion Prof James Fleck, University of Edinburgh
We had a record number of 27 participants working in 8 groups through 6 intensive presentation and discussion sessions. Given such a high number of participants, we are particularly grateful to the amazing team of 16 faculty mentors.
Alongside the core doctoral school activities, we also networked through a number of social events:
Welcome Dinner: Pizza Posto, South Bridge
Pub Meal: Sailisburys’ Arms, Newington
Whisky Tasting: Edinburgh University Whisky Society, Teviot Committee Room, George Square
Exploratory Tour: National Museum of Scotland, George IV Bridge
Closing Dinner: Le Cote, New Town
Optional trekking: Arthur’s Seat, Holyrood Park
See you in 2024 in Madeira!
NITIM Summer School 2018, Germany
The NITIM Graduate Summer School is an international doctoral program that specializes in themes such as entrepreneurship, innovation, technology management, and information and communication technologies. This annual summer school is held in conjunction with the ICE/IEEE ITMC conference, which means that it is held at various locations. This year, it was held in Constance, Germany, and it was an excellent experience. We would like to express our gratitude to everyone who participated. Thank you!
