Course content
The course provides an introduction to innovation, culture and translation strategies. In most innovation processes there will be actors with knowledge and practices that have to be taken into consideration when the new is implemented. At the same time as innovation should be understood and practiced by the different actors, the innovation also has to fit into a material field to be called innovation. Such an innovation competence is important both to understand and handle development, transitions for public innovations and other innovative activities. The course is open to all students, and is part of the STS (studies in knowledge, technology and society) annual study program, which can be subject 2 / broad-based year in most bachelor's degrees and qualifies for admission to PPU (social studies).
