Each year the Global Solutions Programme gathers future leaders, entrepreneurs, and technologists for 10 weeks to work together on team-based technology solutions tackling global challenges. The Programme covers, among others, Future Studies & Forecasting, Networks & Computing, Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, and workshops when you can experience emerging, exponential technologies. During the programme you work with social entrepreneurs, scientists, technologists, designers, physicians, and engineers o form real companies, and let the  ideas   grow further. Programme combines educational part with hands-on technology experience. In one of the past editions participants of the programme had the workshops  with autonomous car of Google, which had been acquired by one of university lecturers.

In this year, the 10 week Global Solutions Programme will take place from 18th of June till 28th of August 28.If you have a unique idea that will improve the lives of millions of people and would like to apply for the programme  in 2016 ,you can still do it through one of multiple Global Impact Competitions, enabling the winners  to participate in the Programme for free.

What Type of Leader are you?

We call them leaders because they take the risk before anybody else does.

We call them leaders because they will choose to sacrifice so that their people may be safe and protected and so their people may gain, and when we do, the natural response is that our people will sacrifice for us.
 
They will give us their blood and sweat and tears to see that their leader’s vision comes to life,and when we ask them, “Why would you do that? Why would you give your blood and sweat and tears for that person?” they all say the same thing: “Because they would have done it for me.”
 
And isn’t that the organization we would all like to work in?
 
Get inspired by watching  “Why good leaders make feel us safe” by Simon Sinek.
