Catherine da Cunha and Catherine Michel of the Product Design and Industrial Systems Department at Centrale Nantes were in Lugano, Switzerland last week as part of the 'Innovation & Entrepreneurship for Sustainable Manufacturing' (IESMA) - EIT Manufacturing Summer School jointly hosted by the University of Applied Sciences and Arts of Southern Switzerland and the Politecnico di Milano in Italy. They presented a module on Design Thinking (see compilation of images below). The EIT - IESMA summer school offers a unique opportunity for developing innovation and entrepreneurship skills for the manufacturing world in an international setting. Participants are immersed in a stimulating learning by doing experience during which innovation experts and companies bring hand-on expertise by launching challenges, support team project works and share their experience, while international lecturers provide state-of-the-art knowledge.
