Sustain 2014

Ideation

Moving to action & creating your next step!
Go to the Ideation Form to submit your idea
You can always edit your submission later
via the link in the form confirmation email

During the day you will get inspiration and opportunity to mutually create new collaborations and projects in the morning, afternoon and poster sessions.

By the end of the day the parallel ideation workshops will facilitate opportunities to make concrete plans based on your inspiration and networking. The ideation workshops are in different formats in the sessions, so see the specific ideation sessions’ description for the ones you find most interesting.

See the list of ideation workshops on the session page

Ideation can lead to many activities and project proposals!
Here some suggestions you can think of:

  • Outline a specific joint research  project or funding application
  • Formulate a project that students could work on to get you initial results to evaluate the idea. They could do MSc/Bsc thesis, product development, or life cycle assessment etc. 
  • An initiative for a new activity such as meeting or a whitepaper
  • A startup idea or market opportunity
  • Strategic sector development activities
  • A suggestion for a new session at Sustain2018
  • New partners for existing projects or new projects with existing partners
  • A change in your carreer …and many other possibilities!
In the spring 2018 we will organize Sustain Pit Stop events to follow up on the submitted ideation project to aid in advancing them. All submitted ideas will be invited to share progress at Sustain 2018.
