indusac

INDUSAC’s main objective is to develop and validate a state-of-the-art, Industry-Academia Collaboration mechanism for quick, challenge-driven, human-centred co-creation.

The aim of the Quick Challenge-Driven, Human-Centred Co-Creation Mechanism for INDUStry-Academia Collaborations (INDUSAC) project is to develop and validate a state-of-the-art, Industry-Academia Collaboration mechanism for quick, challenge-driven, human-centred co-creation.

The INDUSAC project designs a state–of–the–art mechanism for the industry–academia collaboration that is based on human-centred design principles that enable quick project co–creation. At least 300 international co–creation projects are selected for implementation to ensure the validation of the mechanism. These micro-projects led by teams consisting of students, researchers, and company staff are involved across various activities to target numerous industrial sectors. They are expected to create a bridge between business and academia.
