AUEB and i-MBA host the Open Innovation Network (OI-Net) project full partnership meeting on September 23-25. OI-Net develops learning material for OI teaching based on a pan-European survey of firm innovation needs. Open Innovation, defined by Henry Chesbrough of Berkeley as a distributed innovation process based on purposively managed knowledge flows across organizational boundaries, has transformed the landscape of innovation over the last decade to become more collaborative and networked.

OI-Net meeting comprises a lecture to Masters and PhD students (limited space), and workshops for the advancement of the project. The lecture on “Open Innovation” will take place on September 24, 2015, 10:00-12:00 and will be delivered by Prof. Marko Torkkeli, Lappeenranta University of Technology, Finland, at AUEB’s Postgraduate Building (Evelpidon 47, Room 814).
