Elisava has organized the first Peek Lunch, a meeting between deep tech start-ups and the university environment in the field of design. Organized by the faculty's Department of Academia and Business Relations, the initiative has been born with the aim of reinforcing several inherent objectives to Elisava:
- To generate knowledge through research.
- To transmit knowledge through the academic environment and collaborations with the environment.
- To have an impact on society by providing a service to its business and institutional fabric.
In this sense, this Peek Lunch, moderated by Cristina Taverner, aims to deepen in Elisava's usual and constant labour in collaboration with the business and institutional world, and to understand firsthand how companies think, act and what their needs are.
To this end, the event included a lunch and an exchange of opinions on a series of questions, such as, for example, what start-ups understand by design and what knowledge they believe they should have obtained in their respective university studies. They also addressed issues such as Elisava's possible contribution to the value of these types of initiatives and companies.
