How do you create a product that finds its way into the industry? This is what you will learn in the webinar: "From idea to product. How to create an innovative project expected by the industry?". The webinar will include a lecture by dr Daniel Kraszewski and a conversation with prof. Robert Tylingo.
The webinar will take place on Monday, October 25, between 11.00 a.m. and 1.30 p.m. Anyone interested may join the event. Registration is available at: https://bilety.pg.edu.pl/event/odpomyslu.
The event will include a lecture 'Uważaj na "MISIE wydaje..." czyli gdzie szukać przestrzeni dla innowacji produktowej', which will be delivered by dr Daniel Kraszewski, product designer, maker, researcher and innovation consultant, and also the founder of the design studio Aleto.design, where he creates products and develops new technologies.
During the speech, which will take place from 11.05-12.20, based on examples of product innovations, their sources and classifications will be considered, so that you can apply them in your own projects. Looking for help in achieving innovation, the roles of industrial designers and other stakeholders in development projects will be explored. The programme will include, among other things: analyses of several dozen innovative products, identification of spaces where product innovations hide, roles of designers and design in R&D projects, discussion on types and sources of product innovation, and methods for analysing innovation potential.
From 12.35 onwards, it will be possible to listen to a conversation with prof. Robert Tylingo entitled 99 failures and 1 success. Using the experience of the creator of many implemented inventions in business, the topics of risk in research and development projects, cooperation with companies and dependence of invention development on financing will be discussed. It will also be reviewed where it is worth looking for people to cooperate and how to analyse whether it is profitable to invest further in the project. The talk will slowly find answers to questions such as what is the role of constructive (self-)criticism, how to combine the functions of a scientist, businessman and teacher, and what to do when the original idea does not work, how to find an alternative to the results of our work?
Dr hab. Robert Tylingo is a professor at the Gdansk University of Technology. He is an expert in rheology and biopolymer chemistry, a specialist in rational management and use of by-products generated during processing of raw materials of marine origin, including collagen, gelatine, non-collagenous proteins, protein hydrolysates, fish oil and chitosan. He is also a co-developer of the Chitosan Hydrogel technology.
Finally, Piotr Markowski - manager of the 'μGrants R&D for enterprises' project - will talk about the main assumptions of the project with particular emphasis on the role of scientific teams which will act as contractors of R&D works commissioned by grantees (companies, business).
The meeting will be hosted by Mateusz Puchalski, innovation broker of the Gdańsk University of Technology.
The μGrants R&D for Companies project is co-financed under the Regional Operational Programme of Pomeranian Voivodeship for 2014-2020, Priority Axis: 01 Knowledge Commercialisation, Measure: 01.01 Expansion through innovation.
The partners of the event are: Pomerania Regional Chamber of Commerce, Univentum Labs sp. z o.o. and Centrum Innowacji Medycznych sp. z o. o.
