Innovation Sciences
Description:
Innovation is crucial for economic growth, sustainable development and welfare. Yet many inspiring technological ideas never become successful. Innovation sciences focus on gaining a deeper understanding of why this is the case, and how to improve the situation.
If you are interested in technology and would like to apply your skills on a broader, more strategic level, our Innovation Sciences master’s program is perfect for you.
