CIID LIGHTNING TALKS

The training platform offers tools and skills for innovation through a series of 5-day workshops facilitated by leading experts across the fields of innovation, digital technology, and creative leadership. All workshops are inspired by the UN 17 Sustainable Development Goals.

As a part of the Summer School programme, our expert faculty will take part in the CIID Lightning Talks, each giving a 7-minute talk, demo, or opinion piece on a topic that they feel passionately about.
