== Spring 2016 Priorities ==

The initial exposure of young students towards the entrepreneurial mindset and environment is not particularly well developed as compared to the other aspects in the Twente area.

This finding was discussed and reaffirmed by the other parties present during our first stakeholder meeting.

Based on this experience the discussion quickly zoomed in on the aspect of personal development that promotes a more experimental, hands-on, entrepreneurial and proactive mindset.

Essentially asking the question of how do we get students to…

  * think about why they are here!

  * develop a personal identity.

  * set their own personal goals.

  * select their assignments and work on these goals.

  * develop their own moral compass.

  * try something new more often.

  * stimulate their own curiosity.

…and develop these ideas early enough so they can pick courses in an intentional and goal oriented way.

The new education system introduced in 2013 the Twente Education Model. Already tried to address these aspects. However, due to the inherent inertia of tutors and tutees, these ideas still need more time to come full fruition. In that way, additional support to could support these concepts.

The team realized that while there are many facilities available for personal self-development, start-up funding and extracurricular content like the Honours Program many students don’t know about them and even worse do not care to know about them.

It seemed like an imperative focus for this UIF-Team to stimulate the personal development of young students so that the available resources are used more effectively.

Furthermore, it is necessary to have a positive and inclusive environment available on campus. The DesignLab as it stands today fulfills this role and will likely be a fitting and great place from which the UIF program should operate.

The aspects above can be summarized by 4 simple goals.

            1. Keep spreading the ideas and find mentors that can help with that.

            2. A need for self-development!

            3. Entrepreneurship needs to be valued by staff and students alike.

            4. The necessity of an inclusive environment for all the points above.

== Mid-term and long-term goals ==
<div>The University Innovation fellows present in Twente needs to be established. (Mid 2017) While there are many students run organizations none of them work in this context. Therefore, it is very important that the presence of the UIF committee and students are consistent and well established across the various parties across campus.</div><div>The first project associated with this is to hold launch event(s) and brainstorm sessions with various parties, in order to get our name out there.</div><div>Subsequent to this initial goal the UIF-Twente team needs to become a well-trusted institution on campus. Essentially, requiring the development of a UIF-Twente brand. This aspect is very important to assure the future effectiveness of this project. It is very difficult to determine a fixed milestone for this project, however, within one and a half years (early 2018) UIF should be a well-established name.</div><div> </div><div> </div>

== Subsequent steps to establish a students self-development as the focus of the UIF program ==
<div>In the first brainstorm session, the necessity for support for early’s students self-development was established.</div><div>Establishing a space a center and sanctuary for self-development. </div><div> </div><div>One approach towards stimulating self-development is offering students feedback and a safe place within which to receive this feedback. The DesignLab at this university could fulfill this function admirably. The goal is to establish this space connected to an easy and repetitive schedule with the ideas of self-driven learning as well as an ethical and moral understanding of once impact. No later than February 2017 should relate events start taking place in the DesignLab. This should allow students to get in touch with the program by the end of the academic year(July 2017).</div><div> </div><div> </div>
== Spring 2017 Priorities ==
<div>
The collaboration between the university as an organization and the university as a research facility is at the moment not as good as it could be. Many resources such as the knowledge and skills of students are not considered. The university is rather seeking help for the realizations of inside projects from outside companies and is therefore not using the talent that is right in front of them.

The first priority of the spring 2017 fellows is therefore to enhance the collaboration between different UT organizations and bring them into contact with the students.

The main goals we try to reach are:
 <ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Awareness about all the possibilities the University holds for its students, researchers and staff, especially in areas of self-development, where students take control of their skillset development.</li>
<li>Collaboration between staff, students and research in terms of resources as well as in term of skills and knowledge.</li>
<li>Create an atmosphere where it feels natural for university to have many on-site projects run by students. A university where facilities and events are run by students can take real pride in their entrepreunerial students.</li>
</ul>
</div>

== Steps improve collaboration and communication within UT organizations, students, researchers and staff members ==
<div></div><div>
In order to create an atmosphere of greater collaboration between the different members of the University we would like to propose different projects.
 <ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Week of possibilities</li>
<li>Student pool</li>
<li>Add paragraph to Newsletter about board decisions and use platform such as Loomio so that students can add their opinions and suggestions.</li>
</ul>

=== Week of Possibilities ===

Our first priority in order to face the problem of collaboration we encountered during our analysis of the campus is to set up a week of possibilities to show all different parties of the university what possibilities in terms of collaboration they have. The idea is to introduce all different organizations of the university and what this organization can provide in terms of resources and knowledge or skills. It is all about increasing the awareness of all members of the university about what different facilities and organizations the university has to offer.

=== Student Pool ===

Our second priority will be to set up a pool of students, where students can indicate what kind of skills and education they have. By signing up for that student pool they agree to be approachable for university intern project that otherwise would have been given to companies. The basic idea is to use the talent of students and give them real world problems on which they can work. Students can make valuable work experiences and the university can save money by first asking students to look for a solution. Students will be paid for working on the project. In order to avoid the problem of unreliability of students fixed deadlines will be discussed and the university can decide at every step to outsource the project when they have the feeling that the students are not able to finish the project correctly or on time.

=== News of UT board ===

Our final priority would be to focus on the lack of communication and collaboration between the board of the university and the students and staff. We would like to have discussion with the UT news and the board about possibly adding a paragraph on the board’s decisions to the end of the monthly student newsletter. We would then like to set up a page on a platform such as loomio, for us to reiterate what that paragraph states and allows students to provide their opinions and suggestions. This format of a pool could enable the board to obtain a more all-encompassing view of what the student body thinks.

Resource:How to design an eight part series of innovation and entrepreneurship workshops

2017-01-15T13:03:06Z

LennartVelde:

== Introduction & Inspiration ==

When making a landscape canvas of the I&E climate on campus, the leadership circle in Dalhousie made several observations. One of the most important was the lack of a program or event that introduced students to entrepreneurial and innovative thinking. From engineering to the arts, they considered activities in which students get hands-on experience with I&E a great opportunity to introduce student to I&E and to inspire and empower students. To maximise impact, they set out and created an eight-series workshop on I&E of 2.5h each that was open to students from all disciplines. Based on their experience, this wiki provides a useful starting guide on how to design and lead a workshop series on I&E.

== Workshop Organization ==

Identifying your target audience is the first step towards organizing a workshop series. Workshops for students new to entrepreneurship and workshops catered to students with start-up experience will have different focuses. Workshops for beginners could focus more on design-thinking and prototyping. Workshops for more experienced students can focus on funding and creating a great team environment.

After identifying the demographics of your audience, work to outline your 8 workshop topics. Of course, these topics can be changed if needed. It is recommended that the UIF team have one-hour meeting each week to organize the workshop. One member should be the point person for one workshop. That can be the same person for every workshop, or the faciliator role can be rotated throughout the team. Ideally the point person would be the team member with the most experience with the workshop topic. If that is not possible, don't be afraid to reach out to faculty members.

Once you have completed a rough outline and come up with a brandname for the sessions, you are ready to start promoting. Meanwhile, it’s time to plan the workshops in more detail, so think of themes, activities, and a detailed schedule for each workshop. Inviting local business owners, or faculty members, to present at your workshop is a great way to engage the community. During your initial planning meetings decide who you will invite and what would like them to present about. As a courtesy you must give them as much time as possible. Also, plan back-up schedules, to avoid any last minute scrambles.

When planning the schedule of your workshops determine if time for networking would be beneficial for your audience.

== Promotion ==

In order to get a good turnout and have substantial impact on the campus community, is it important to properly promote the series of workshops.
<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>It is key to go out and greet passersby, advertising the events not just for the sake of it but by stressing that everyonecould benefit from them and there is always something new to learn</li>
<li>Plan early and make participation easy, so that anyone can just show up, regardless of their level of involvement in innovation/business, as this is about entrepreneurship</li>
<li>To encourage continuous attendance, consider establishing a certification program, so that participants get a certificate of some value if they attend all of the workshops</li>
<li>Encourage participation through making the workshops engaging by incorporating lessons, providing snacks, and hosting interesting speakers for facilitation</li>
<li>Everyone is important in promotion; the support of the students, team, and speakers is necessary--if you don’t have enough of these people, lower the frequency of the workshops per week to make it more manageable</li>
<li>Have a marketing/business person to send out email reminders or Facebook invitations and posts (a channel to the outside)</li>
<li>Book the space in advance and get people committed</li>
<li>Record the workshops through audio recordings, video recording, Facebook Live, and/or just saving the PowerPoint presentations for later reference; participants highly appreciate material to go back to</li>
</ul>

Logistics: Keeping things on time in a workshop with a lot of activities and information is essential to practice. Only with the experience you will get better and better with this.

== Motivation ==

Some people don't have the strength to go into unknown areas so YOU have to start the conversation. Also it is important to promote our values so everyone who takes part of the workshop is aware of them. 

For keeping motivation high and preventing drop-outs during the workshops, you can think about offering the participants a certification at the end of the workshops. Requirements for the certificate can be attendance at 6 out of 8 workshops or an end-deliverable during the final workshops.

== Impact ==

For future workshops, it is imperative to improve the ones that were held, through evaluations and feedback.

The workshops must not be only focused on design thinking and innovation, but focused on what the customers, the participants, want and need.
<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>It’s important to get feedback from the participants. If possible, after every workshop. In doing so, you can improve the workshop for next session or for next workshop.</li>
<li>In every workshop, there is the fear of delivery. And it doesn’t matter if only 5 or 10 people go, what is important is to keep pushing and keep doing the workshop.</li>
<li>There has been a great interest in the doing the workshop next year. Although, an issue that is being currently working on is the timing of the workshop, because the aim is to fit everyone's schedule.</li>
</ul>

== Tuesday Take-Offs - Example of an I&E workshop ==

From Sep to Nov 2016, the 2016 Spring UIF fellows from Dalhousie organized the Tuesday Take-Offs, a free series of I&E workshops open to all students interested. With the primary goal of getting students in touch with I&E thinking, the fellows designed a brand and workshop outline, check it out!

LennartVelde:

[[File:Lennart vd Velde.jpg|thumb|Lennart vd Velde.jpg]]

Lennart is a grad student in Technical Medicine at the University of Twente, the Netherlands. What he loves about the program is the focus on bringing innovation to healthcare, a field that has traditionally been slow in adopting new technologies. With internships at Medtronic and hospitals like the Academic Medical Center in Amsterdam, Lennart experienced the motivational power of a shared mission and the value of inspiring colleagues. He is able to quickly find his way in diverse settings by his motivated attitude and active engagement, which helped him set out new research directions for Medtronic's Integrated Health Solutions. Currently, Lennart is graduating on a research project in collaboration with the University of Twente, Rijnstate hospital Arnhem and the Institute for Biomedical Technology at Ghent University. By combining expertise from these institutes, he aims to improve endovascular treatment of occluded arteries through computational fluid dynamics modeling. 

For the University of Twente, Lennart actively contributed to his educational program as teaching assistent in math, medical and physics courses. Invited by the professors, he led practical sessions, assisted in seminars and functioned as tutor in group projects. For the student surf association, he functioned as member of the board and several committees to enhance campus facilities. Starting from these experiences, he hopes to exchange ideas on meaningful education through the UIF program and learn from others on how to promote and stimulate entrepreneurship on campus.

Born and raised in Alkmaar (NL), healthcare tech captured Lennart's interest at a young age. Growing up, he also enjoyed spending time on the piano or out in the open when kitesurfing. In 2015, his affinity with the piano led him to obtain a Bachelor of Arts degree in piano performance. He believes that improvising and group sessions in music can enhance creative thinking. Lennart is interested in bringing technical and medical disciplines together, both on campus and in hospitals, to ultimately speed up innovation in healthcare.

LennartVelde:

Hey Candidates! Welcome. Thank you for collaborating with your fellow interviewees to create a resource that helps student changemakers for years to come. We created a very simple template for you with section headings that your should swap out for your own, picking from [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1B6mlePQGB7ElzwcdtQD09p3Z6IFCi_jy2vQAJmmxt_I/edit the template we provided you here]. Use the text editor or OR click on '''Show wiki text editor''' (highly recommended) to use the very simple text interface. To add photos, you must create an account by clicking 'Log in / create account' under 'Personal Tools' menu to the right. Wait 12-24 hours for access. Don't forget to write down your username and password. If you have any questions, [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGmMfSglkVGHZtQobS8oEPsfkpGZY-Njh visit this page] or contact [mailto:team@universityinnovation.org team@universityinnovation.org]. Delete this paragraph after building out your page.

== Introduction & Inspiration ==

When making a landscape canvas of the I&E climate on campus, the leadership circle in Dalhousie made several observations. One of the most important was the lack of a program or event that introduced students to entrepreneurial and innovative thinking. From engineering to the arts, they considered activities in which students get hands-on experience with I&E a great opportunity to introduce student to I&E and to inspire and empower students. To maximise impact, they set out and created an eight-series workshop on I&E of 2.5h each that was open to students from all disciplines. Based on their experience, this wiki provides a useful starting guide on how to design and lead a workshop series on I&E.

== Workshop Organization ==

Identifying your target audience is the first step towards organizing a workshop series. Workshops for students new to entrepreneurship and workshops catered to students with start-up experience will have different focuses. Workshops for beginners could foucs more on design-thinking and prototyping. Workshops for more experienced students can focus on funding and creating a great team environment.

After identifying the demographics of your audience work to outline your 8 workshop topics. Of course, these topcs can be changed if needed. It is recommended that the UIF team have one-hour meeting each weak to organize the workshop. One member should be the point person for one workshop. That can be the same person for every workshop, or the faciliator role can be roated throughout the team. Ideally the point person would be the team member with the most experience with the workshop topic. If that is not possible, don't be afraid to reach out to faculty members.

When you completed a rough outline and came up with a brandname for the sessions, you are ready to start promoting. Meanwhile, it’s time to plan the workshops in more detail, so thinking of themes, activities and a detailed schedule per workshop.Inviting local business owners, or faculty members, to present at your workshop is a great way to engage the community. During your initial planning meetings decide who you will invite and what would like them to present about. As a courtesy you must give them as much time as possible. Also, plan back-up schedules, to avoid any last minute scrambles.

One of the most important was the lack of a program or event that introduced students to entrepreneurial and innovative thinking. From engineering to the arts, they considered activities in which students get hands-on experience with I&E a great opportunity to introduce student to I&E and to inspire and empower students. To maximise impact, they set out and created an eight-series workshop on I&E of 2.5h each that was open to students from all disciplines. Based on their experience, this wiki provides a useful guide to design and give one or more workshops on I&E.

== Workshop Organization ==

Identifying your target audience is the first step towards organizing a workshop series. Workshops for students new to entrepreneurship and workshops catered to students with start-up experience will have different focuses. Workshops for beginners could foucs more on design-thinking and prototyping. Workshops for more experienced students can focus on funding and creating a great team environment.

After identifying the demographics of your audience work to outline your 8 workshop topics. Of course, these topcs can be changed if needed. It is recommended that the UIF team have one-hour meeting each weak to organize the workshop. One member should be the point person for one workshop. That can be the same person for every workshop, or the faciliator role can be roated throughout the team. Ideally the point person would be the team member with the most experience with the workshop topic. If that is not possible, don't be afraid to reach out to faculty members.

Inviting local business owners, or faculty members, to present at your workshop is a great way to engage the community.During your initial planning meetings decide who you will invite and what would like them to present about. As a courtesy you must give them as much time as possible. Also, plan back-up schedules, to avoid any last minute scrambles.

When planning the schedule of your workshops determine if time for networking would be beneficial for your audience.

== Logistics ==

To keep things in time in a workshop with a lot of activities and information is essential to practice. Only with the experience you will get better and better with this.

== Keep them motivated  ==

The key is comunication.Some people dont have the strength to get into unknow stuffs so YOU have to start the conversation.Also is important to promote our values so everyone who takes part of the workshop is aware of them.

== Impact ==

For future workshops, it is imperative to improve the ones that were held, through evaluations and feedback.

The workshops must not be only focused on design thinking and innovation, but focused on what the customers, the participants, want and need.

<li>
It’s important to get feedback from the participants. If possible, after every workshop. In doing so, you can improve the workshop for next session or for next workshop.

In every workshop, there is the fear of delivery. And it doesn’t matter if only 5 or 10 people go, the important is to keep pushing and keep doing the workshop.
