The aim of the cooperation festival is to bring together companies, universities and other scientific institutions to introduce the development oriented ideas and new services and cooperation projects between the univerities and business organisations in an inspiring way.

The sketches must reflect the four topics of the Cooperation Festival:

1. HUMAN & HUMAN (keywords: selection, recruiting, training, onboarding, maintaining relationships, efficiency, working environment, productivity, performance)

2. HUMAN AND CREATIVITY (keywords: experiences, creativity, the process of design and product development, digitalization, the solutions that value biodiversity, new business development model)

3. HUMAN & MACHINE (keywords: data, algorithms, automatics, robotics, artificial intelligence tools, data masses processing)

4. HUMAN AND NATURE (keywords: product and material innovation, organic production, , competitive advantage, health and well-being)

Expectations to the four video clips

We expect innovative visions, challanging ideas that attract attention and interpretation of what is/could be the format of cooperation between universities and business organisations and also interpretations of the different relationships: human-human; human-creativity, human-machine; human-nature. We would like the students to reflect upon them. These visions could be based on real life, pop-culture, new scientific achievements, books, films, etc. We expect the sketches to be humorous and optimistic.

Background

The Cooperation Festival of universities and business organisations „At The Right Time In The Righe Place“ takes place on Nov 1, 2018. The festival brings together the companies who create innovative products and services on a daily basis and the scientists of Estonian universities and other scientific insititutions who are working on modern technological developments. The Cooperation Festival consists of four main subtopics: 1. Human and Human 2. Human and Creativity 3. Human and Machine and 4 Human and Nature. We expect that in every category there will be a brief humorous video clip that leads in the main topic and helps the participants to tune in to the topic.

The Cooperation Festival takes place for the fourth time and this year we are focusing on the main topics: HUMAN. CREATIVITY. MACHINE. NATURE.
At the festival there will be fascinating keynotes, inspiring lift- speeches made by the scientists and entrepreneurs providing an extensive overview of the areas of research, services for the companies offered by scientific institutions and the chances of developing new products and services together in cooperation with the companies and universities.
There is an opportunity to create direct contacts and contribute to the solution of the issues in the company's field of activity. The festival will also give an opportunity to explore and get familiarised with the services offered by different universities all through the day.
