About the PhD Course in Open Innovation
Launched in Spring 2024, PhD Course in Open Innovation is tailored and made for early-stage researchers (PhD students and junior scholars), who wish to get a deep dive into the latest research from the field while developing their research proposal. PhD course in Open Innovation focuses on the development of critical academic skills such as reading, discussion, and presentation along with the analysis, synthesis, and design of further research. These skills will be trained before, during, and after the course.
The course will examine several aspects of Open Innovation, from its origins and definition to qualitative and quantitative analyses of recent innovation phenomena. By the end of the course, students will leave the room with a research proposal on Open Innovation, and the three best proposal authors will be invited to present their study at Berkeley Open Innovation Seminar on December 2, 2024.
In order to join the course all participants have to register and attend the World Open Innovation Conference. Overall, the course promises to be a deep and engaging exploration of the Open Innovation concept both individually and in groups.
