Osaamistavoitteet
After the course student has basic understanding of the Health Tech and Life Science R&D process. Student has gained knowledge on how the e.g. customer needs, value proposition, product market fit, regulatory issues, IPR as well as project and process management are related to biomedical R&D. Student can apply when they will make a course work. During their course work they will participate the actual innovation projects in SPARK Finland and make surveys such as IP, regulator, competitor and market analysis for the projects. Student has presented group work as written document and as an oral presentation in seminar. Student has also assessed the work of other groups and received criticism. Students will gain solid basis for R&D expertise in their later career either as entrepreneurs, in industry or in academia.
