Description

Train the Trainer course on Friday 7 March 2025 (11:00-12:00 CET).

Part 1 of this course provided by Dutch Societal Innovation Hub will present a comprehensive overview of the societal challenges that artificial intelligence can address and the challenges that are being faced when scaling AI innovation in the public sector.

Part 2 of this course presents the journey of the innovation ecosystem on monitoring nature (more specific vegetation), which is supported by the Dutch Societal Innovation Hub. 

The public sector often struggles with scaling and deployment of innovative solutions, which often hinders the field of innovation in this sector and leads to frustration in both pubic and private sector. In order to understand the challenges they face, the Dutch Societal Innovation Hub assessed the maturity of innovation trajectories on technological, societal and community readiness, with the intention of finding what were the obstacles preventing the successful continuation of innovation pilots.

Join us on this course to comprehend the importance of addressing factors in the innovation system that go beyond the technology in itself, in the example of monitoring nature.
