The summer school was organized by INCONET-GCC2

INCONET-GCC2's overall goal is to support the institutional bi-regional (GCC & EU)
policy dialogue in Science, Technology and Innovation, to strengthen
the bi-regional cooperation between research and innovation actors, especially
in the context of the Horizon 2020 programme and finally to monitor progress
in the bi-regional STI cooperation.
The innovation Summer School is seen as a multi-disciplinary opportunity to diffuse
intitutional research projets as well as other relevant initiavites (such as: public,
entrepreneurial, innovative, cultural, industrial) that could be relevant for the discussion
of the selected societal challengers / research priorities.
During the innovation summer school, participants attended daily lectures, seminars and tutorials,
aimed at developing attendees thinking on a range of
issues related to the selected theme, followed by discussions and explorations of how to
adopt common methodological grounds.
