Summer course after movie
Building successful collaborative consortia
Relive the highlights of our two-day journey in Ghent
Two inspiring days. Innovators, academics, and R&D managers. One shared mission: building stronger, more collaborative consortia.
Watch the after movie and experience the energy, insights, and connections that made this summer course unforgettable.

The experience in a nutshell

In August 2025, participants gathered in Ghent for a deep dive into collaborative innovation. Together, we explored how to:
- Turn alignment struggles into shared goals
- Transform diversity into a strength for innovation
- Detect and avoid the pitfalls of consortium building
- Combine theory and practice through hands-on exercises
It wasn’t just about knowledge: it was about connection, energy, and creating momentum.
