InnoLab activities

In addition to conducting research and facilitating research projects, InnoLab hosts events and participates in a variety of activities.

These include networking events that bring together academics across disciplines and experts from different fields (e.g. business, media and government), technical and societal hackathons and topical seminars, panel debates and workshops.

InnoLab is passionate about making research visible and values research communication in its different forms. Therefore, we support and encourage academic participation across a variety of forums, and create opportunities for academics to engage with different audiences.
