Blue Growth, Innovation and Entrepreneurship Summer School
The objectives of the summer school were to provide insight into value chains from invention to innovation, including the necessary mind-set within academia, technology scouting, intellectual property issues, patent portfolios, licensing, industry co-operations and contract. The “Summer School” aimed at encouraging young people involvement in blue economy sectors by offering high-quality technical knowledge and fostering their entrepreneurial spirit, covering different areas of the blue economy and stimulating the attractiveness to maritime jobs as well as the employability of graduates. It will also aimed to increase the entrepreneurial awareness amongst graduates and, potentially, the number of spin-offs and new highly-qualified jobs, respectively.
