DCU Hack4Change is back this year!

We are delighted to be running our fifth social innovation hackathon series, DCU Hack4Change, with all 750 DCU Business School students from Tuesday 19th to Thursday 21st March 2024!

This event will be attended by students of the award-winning Learning Innovation for Enterprise (LIFE) first-year module, as well as over 50 industry and community guest speakers and mentors.

Across five sessions over three days, students will attend inspirational lightning talks, receive mentoring, and engage in both fun and formal social innovation ideation activities. Teams will develop viable social innovation ideas based on the theme of the circular economy and digitally present their ideas to reach a wide audience.

Lancaster University Management School welcomed representatives from Fujitsu and Heathrow Airport to deliver their annual Hackathon workshop.

Students were tasked with tackling a fictional data breach and then presented their methods to the professionals. The Fujitsu Hackathon is a part of the MSc Digital Business, Innovation and Management programme. https://lnkd.in/eG9XmnRi

Lancaster University had the pleasure to host Visiting Scholar Professor Joe Raelin, from Northeastern University

Professor Raelin is internationally renowned for his work on leadership and management development, particularly on the idea of leadership-as-practice, a form of collective leadership.

He has been the guest of our Professional and Executive Management Learning team, and has taken part in a series of events involving LUMS colleagues, local entrepreneurs and managers, and academics from other universities, including some from as far afield as Finland and Sweden.

His ideas have stimulated conversations about how we might change our ways of doing leadership/management development, as well as sparking ideas for new research projects.

Businesses and academic experts took part in the first #AIMDay today in Lancaster University Management School, in conjunction with Pentland Centre for Sustainability in Business and the Centre for Family Business.

Businesses from across the region brought us their sustainability-related questions and problems, and LUMS researchers shared their knowledge and thoughts for them to take back to their firms. It was a productive collaboration for all involved.
