Raising Awareness for Value Creation Potential in Engineering Research

摘要

Raising awareness among engineering PhD students for the value creation potential of their research work is a crucial element in their education. With this aim, the doctoral conference DoCEIS'12 focused on technological innovation for value creation, challenging the contributors to analyze in which ways their technical and scientific contributions could contribute to creating value in society. The results of this initiative, which was reasonably successful, are briefly analyzed.
