On day 2 on 27th October (11.00 – 7.30) an innovation workshop was organised by CfSD incorporating a series of creative, fun and innovative processes based on Professor Charter’s unique GreenThink process . Teams worked throughout the day to develop Solutions to a series of Challenges set by external experts. At the end of the day, groups presented their concepts to an expert judging panel who will gave their professional feedback.
#Net-Hack_Challenge is part of the Circular Ocean project. Circular Ocean is funded by Northern Periphery & Arctic Programme (European Regional Development Fund) and is being organised between 2015-2018.
