Organisers say the one-day event is especially aimed for mentors of startups, social enterprises and hub administrators, as well as social innovation hub representatives.

“In a world where complex challenges are too great to be tackled by a single discipline, co-designing presents an innovative approach to how organisations can confront issues, develop actionable ways to improve their current experiences and co-create new solutions,” the press statement says.

The session will be led by Tatiana Glad, founder and director of Impact Hub Amsterdam, who will be sharing her international experience and providing insight into what are the key ingredients to foster social innovation, entrepreneurship, community growth and positive social impact.

“From my experience, spaces that aim to be generative to human connection and entrepreneurship are stronger if they are co-created by the community that inhabits them. Our interactive workshop will help you develop a well-thought-out co-design process that invites the creativity and curiosity of users to shape their own work environment,” said Ms Glad said.

Attendance is free of charge. Organisations and individuals are required to register their interest in attendance in an email with the subject headline “ENISIE Co-Design Session 10 October 2019”.

The visit was held within the framework of the so-called RELOS3 project. It included meetings with Tartu’s Science Park; Digital Innovation Hub; Wood Processing and Furniture Manufacturing Centre of Competence; Centre for Entrepreneurship and Innovation; Biotechnology Park; the Estonian Genome Centre and other Estonian entities and stakeholders.

Furthermore, the involvement of SMEs in Smart Specialisation was considered to be an important factor in the region’s success, as well as the importance of the University of Tartu connecting the latest ICT-technology to traditional manufacturing processes, as part of the city’s strong drive towards Industry 4.0, the press statement says.

Malta Enterprise represented one of the project partners and will set out to complete a Local Action Plan that embodies three years of intensive learning and which will be presented at a Working Conference in Groningen, the Netherlands, in November this year.

The Action Plan will include recommendations for local policy-makers, in order to improve Malta’s deployment of research and innovation strategies for smart specialisation (RIS3). It will be presented by the end of this year.
