SEAMK Innovation Week

During SEAMK Innovation Week, students work in multidisciplinary teams to tackle real development challenges presented by companies and organisations. First-year students from all SEAMK degree programmes participate in the Innovation Week.

The course utilises service design methods, which emphasise customer and user orientation. In practice, students work throughout the week in around ten multidisciplinary teams on assignments provided by companies. Each team is guided by coaches who are members of SEAMK staff. Every student group develops ideas and concepts for one specific challenge.

SEAMK Innovation Week is held annually in March and November. The week begins on Monday and concludes on Friday, when student teams present their results to the commissioning organisations. Each assignment involves approximately 60–70 students.
