Background
#Net_Hack Challenge is being organised by The Centre for Sustainable Design ® (CfSD) at the University for the Creative Arts (UCA) on 16th November 2017 with Innovation Teams comprised of invited experts and postgraduate students from UCA’s School of Craft and Design. #Net_Hack Challenge is supported by UCA, Global Ghost Gear Initiative (GGGI) and MCB Seafoods.
The innovation workshop will incorporate a series of creative, fun and innovative processes based on Professor Charter’s unique GreenThink process. Teams will work throughout the day to develop Solutions to a series of Challenges set by external experts. At the end of the day, groups will present their concepts to an expert judging panel who will give 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
