Join us at Loughborough University London this summer to try our leading Collaborate programme.

This year we will be collaborating with The Human Centred Design team at Ford Motor Company who are passionate about developing deep human insights to drive the creative process. The team solves problems and creates new possibilities (new products, services, experiences and new ventures) that delight Ford customers and transform the future of Ford.

What is Collaborate Sprint?

Collaborate Sprint is a really exciting 1 1/2 days at our London Loughborough campus working with a partner organisation (Ford Motor Company - Human Centred Design team) on a real world challenge. It is a taster of the our Collaborative Project module, that gives all Loughborough London students the chance to work on real-world organisation challenges with world-leading and local organisations.

Why should I take part?

Collaborate Sprint is your opportunity to develop vital skills (team work, problem solving, presenting etc) for your future career, collaborate with our industry partner and learn to innovate with our team.

What’s happens at Collaborate Sprint?

You’ll be guided through solving a real-world challenge while collaborating in small teams under the guidance of our dynamic London staff. During the day and a half you’ll learn and apply challenge specific innovation tools before pitching back your solutions to our collaborating Partner Organisation. We’ll also introduce you to the wider experience of life at Here East on the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
