New: the Handbook for Collaboration

What can you expect when you bring a challenge to the Fontys ICT InnovationLab, and what do we ask of you in return? With more than 250 student projects and over 25 partners each year, clear and shared expectations are the foundation of good collaboration.

Over the past years we worked with lecturers, coordinators and educational experts to make the way we run education at the Lab more consistent. The result is the Handbook for Collaboration: a practical guide for everyone who works with us.

In the handbook you’ll find:

  • How a semester works – from Meet & Match and kick-off, through sprint demos, to the final presentations at Innovations Insight.
  • Who does what – the roles of students, lecturers, partner coordinators and project coordinators, and who to contact for what.
  • Mutual expectations – what student teams deliver, and what we ask from partners in terms of availability, feedback and openness.
  • Ways to collaborate – from semester projects to long-term partnership through SPARC.

The handbook is available on our website: fontysictinnovationlab.nl/about. Use it as a reference, share it with colleagues who are involved in projects, or use it to prepare for the next Meet & Match.
