Capacity building workshop – green technologies and potential impact

One way to build your capacity is to understand other green technologies developed in Europe and how they could potentially create impact.

The workshop is designed for researchers who want to position their research within the European landscape and strengthen its impact potential for career development. Participants present their research area related to green technologies and its potential impact. Each case receives structured peer and organizer feedback. Participants also become part of a small cross-field research group and receive a citable presentation credit.

The presenters are from various areas in green technologies. The workshop provides a cross-disciplinary perspective on how green technology research is framed by European researchers, career directions, and impact pathways. Hearing how researchers from other fields position their work helps participants refine their own research narrative and career strategy.

Format

Each presenter has 10 minutes to present their research area and its impact potential, followed by 10 minutes of structured peer feedback and discussion. The workshop opens with an introduction by the organizer on European research-to-impact framework in green technologies. This provides a shared foundation for all presentations and discussions. Next the participants present their cases.The workshop is held in small group format (maximum 15 participants) so that each case is thoroughly discussed.

We use the workshop format so discussion is facilitated within a group instead of traditional conference format which mainly has communication from speaker to audience.

Conference Cruise Format

We use a format which gives much time together. On a cruise ship: Stockholm to Helsinki and back. Three day workshop. We are in addition to presentations together breakfast, coffee breaks, lunch, dinner, social time in evening, and half day in Helsinki where we will use walk and talk. Everyone has accommodation at same place (the ship). Then we avoid the typical conference problem in a city with different hotels: a format that breaks up the time we have together. We also avoid the 12 minutes presentation and 3 minutes question format that leaves no time for fruitful discussion.

Participants spend three days together including:

• Presentations and discussions
• Breakfasts, coffee breaks and dinners
• exchange time between participants and one-to-one informal meetings between sessions
• participant interaction by walk and talk in Helsinki (half day)
