What is it about?
The variable content course belongs to a series of bioeconomy boot camps that both the participating companies and the students have praised. Unlike in most courses, the student teams work on real-life business challenges in the company headquarters together with the company experts and leaders.
CHEM-EV Kemira Next 100 Years Boot Camp (2 cr) is a real life challenge course where multidisciplinary student teams present business scenarios/cases for an established solution provider for process efficiency, sustainable bioeconomy and clean water. The course includes a visit to Kemira research centre, prework on own time and a two day’s boot camp in Kemira headquarters. The company professionals will tutor the teams for their proposals to be pitched in front of the jury of the company and university representatives.
A maximum of 30 students will be accepted with a target of creating balanced multidisciplinary teams of 4-6 students. After enrolling in WebOodi, fill in the application to the course assignment under the course homepage in MyCourses.
