How to begin planning to carry out this approach?
In the ASKFOOD project, the “Reversed Incubation” (RI) training methodology is implemented as an innovative approach to reinforce innovation capabilities, and to up-skill both professionals from industry, and talents from university by adopting disruptive training solutions.
To get the proper spirit of this approach, two are the main aspects to be constantly kept in mind:
a) the RI per sé doesn’t play the role of business incubators or start-up accelerators even if resources and methodologies will be partly shared with them: the main aim of the ASKFOOD project is not the creation of new companies but the exploration of approaches that can support the effectiveness both of entrepreneurial education within the universities and the innovation in traditional university-industry cooperation in food and food-related sectors;
b) the ASKFOOD project is focused on “skills” and how different interactions between professionals, researchers, universities and talents impact on skills themselves: the “plug and play” approach is aimed at defining new schemes for training that can produce positive impact on the shift from a “lifelong learning” focus to a “lifelong employability” strategy in the food sector.
