Venue and Format:

The Design Jam took place on the top floor of the Sir Alwyn William Building at the University of Glasgow [map]. The event ran from 9:30am to 17:00pm on Thursday 10th November. The event was open to everyone, including designers, digital innovators, SMEs, creators software developers and students. To be eligible for prizes, participants had to be able to attend all activities during the day and agreed to adhere by the code of conduct (archived below).

Following registration and welcome coffee at 9:30am, the day began with an expert panel on new research in open innovation.

Next, the organisers made presentations about four open innovation challenges available to teams (see slides above). A choice between four challenge topics was offered to participants. Each challenge was closely connected to the overall theme of openness, IP management and innovation.

Participants selected the challenge they wished to work on and organised themselves into teams with the assistance of the facilitators. Teams comprised at least 2 people, up to a maximum of 5. Over the following 4 hours, teams worked on their pitches. Mentors from the CREATe research team and the panel of visiting experts helped consult with teams as they developed their pitches/solutions.

The day closed with 8-minute long pitch presentations before an expert judging panel and award of prizes to the winners.
