Some short testimonials about TAFTIE-Academy events
Workshop "Entrepreneurship in the Research Context" 16th November 2010, Helsinki
"The Workshop "Entrepreneurship in the Research Context" was excellent organised. The talks were very good structured but we still had enough time for several into deep discussions rounds. Overall the day was enlightening, and I learned some applicable lessons for my work. I will definitely attend another TAFTIE academy session."
Workshop "Insights into Innovation Process" 10th November 2010, Copenhagen
"I was absolutly fascinated by the way innovation and innovation processes is interpreted in a new way. Apart from the oldfashioned linear model thinking it was great to learn from the trainer that innovation is much more addicted to a systemic model thinking. Very helpful knowledge in our daily communication with the ministries and absolutely recommendable for everybody who is dealing with innovation." - Margit Haas, FFG.
