Cross Innovation Class
In the Cross Innovation Class, students from various disciplines design innovative prototypes for your company. The focus: sustainable innovations.
In the Cross Innovation Class, students from different subject areas meet companies from all sectors and of all sizes. In interdisciplinary teams, they spend a semester developing innovative prototypes focussing on the topic of sustainability. The advantage? Companies get an unbiased, fresh view of the young generation from the outside and work exclusively with potential junior staff. Students familiarise themselves with all phases of product development, gain practical experience and meet potential employers. The methods used include design thinking and foresight.
