The LISTO project has been running for one year now and we are in full swing connecting universities with companies to advance strategically important topics. After our training workshop in Montevideo in the beginning of 2018 (read report here), the seven Latin American partner universities have started organizing a pilot AIMday at home.
AIMday is a match-making event for academic scientists and organizations to make contacts and exchange knowledge. By matching organizations need for new knowledge with academic expertise, AIMday brings understanding and new perspectives to actual problems in organizations. It is centered on small group discussions where a question raised by an organisation is highlighted, and discussed during one hour by scientists and experts from several different disciplines. This format – a question, one hour, a group of experts – has proven successful in finding useful contacts, collaborations, and new paths to solutions to organizations’ questions. For more information, see: www.aimday.se
Within the LISTO project, there are seven AIMdays hosted by the partner universities in Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay:
- September 12, 2018: AIMday Agribusiness in the dairy chain in Porto Alegre, hosted by the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS) – Tech-Transfer Office SEDETEC
- October 3, 2018: AIMday Materials in Córdoba, hosted by the National University of Córdoba (UNC)
- October 5, 2018: AIMday Dairy Innovation in Montevideo, hosted by University ORT Uruguay (ORT) – Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship CIE
- November 8, 2018: AIMday Future of Food Production in Montevideo, hosted by the Catholic University of Uruguay (UCU) – Center for Entrepreneruship and Innovation IthaKa
- November 13, 2018: AIMday Biomedicine in São Paulo, hosted by the University of São Paulo (USP) – Innovation Agency AUSPIN
