Multidisciplinary Learning Environments Generating Innovation Competences : Some Examples from Turku University of Applied Sciences in Finland

Abstract

We live surrounded by new ways of thinking, understanding and acting that simultaneously point to a new step in innovating. We are challenged, more than ever, to be able to combine different kinds of knowledge, skills and attitudes to solve the wicked problems facing our work places, society and the globe, such as changing working methods and environments, digitalization, population growth, or climate change. Consequently, how to educate students provided with such competences is a crucial question to educators.
