Within the EIT HEI Initiative project TREATY, The Cyprus Institute Graduate School is offering an Innovation Bootcamp that will take you on a journey to the world of innovation and entrepreneurship. 

In this intensive bootcamp, we will explore the art of thinking differently, pushing boundaries and creating breakthrough solutions. Whether you are an experienced entrepreneur, a curious student, or someone who simply believes in the power of innovation, this bootcamp is for you.
 
The three-day event includes interactive workshops, networking sessions and a pitching session where the best idea will win a prize!
 
The bootcamp has been developed and led by members of the Innovation and Development Directorate and the Graduate School of The Cyprus Institute, accompanied by renowned experts in Innovation and Business Management. The Bootcamp is supported by the Research and Innovation Foundation (RIF). 



Why Innovation Matters


In a rapidly changing world, innovation is not a luxury—it is a necessity. Whether you’re disrupting an industry, solving a local problem, or reimagining everyday processes, innovation drives progress. It is about challenging the status quo, embracing failure as a stepping stone, and turning “what if” into “why not.”

 

What to Expect Over These Three Days?


1. Two full-day Hands-On Workshops, 17th and 18th of June (9:00-17:00)
Engage in interactive sessions where you’ll brainstorm, ideate and design. From theoretical concepts to expanding your practical knowledge, we will equip you with the necessary tools to fuel your creativity and assist you in taking your idea forward.
 
Eight workshops will be offered within 2 days, which means that your days will be fully packed with knowledge and practical skills enhancement.
 
2. Collaboration and Networking

You will have the chance to connect with fellow innovators, exchange ideas, and build lasting relationships. Who knows? Your next big idea might come from a casual coffee chat.

3. Pitching Session on Friday 21st of June (17:00-20:30)
Put your idea to the test! Pitch your concept to a panel of experts and receive valuable feedback. The best ideas might even get incubated or funded, since we will have both business incubators and investors in the panel.

Also, the best idea will win an award! Details on the award to be announced soon.
 
So, buckle up! The Innovation Bootcamp awaits. Let’s dream big, think boldly and create a future that leaves a mark.

  1. August 2016
  2. September 2016
For the initial monitoring of the building the SUI CyI research team installed a weather station on the roof, placed sensors inside the building and performed a thermal comfort assessment survey.

1. Climate data monitoring

Exterior
A Vantage Pro2 weather station was placed on the building roof to collect data from the SUI area. Regularly updated information about the climatic conditions could be found on the station webpage: http://www.weatherlink.com/user/suitepakcy/. The weather station base was designed and installed by the CyI technical equipment development team.

Interior
Twelve (12) HOBO data-loggers were placed in the building, for collecting temperature, humidity and light data. The data are collected every 30 minutes and will be elaborated with the HOBOware software.

2. Thermal comfort assessment questionnaire

A survey on occupant comfort satisfaction with the indoor environment in summer was conducted. The questionnaire was based on templates proposed by the HSE (http://www.hse.gov.uk/temperature/index.htm). A third of the total employees were asked and complementary measurements were made using a Heat Stress WBGT (Wet Bulb Globe Temperature) Meter, both for the indoor and the outdoor climatic conditions at the time of the survey.

1. Thermal imaging

Thermal images were taken using a T440 Flir thermal camera in order to find missing, damaged, or inadequate insulation, building envelope air leaks, moisture intrusion and other problems. Also, the main sources of radiant temperature were determined.

2. HOBO sensors data collection and analysis

The temperature, humidity, air movement and dew point data from the HOBO sensors were collected and analysed. The mean predicted vote (PMV) was calculated using the CBE Thermal Comfort Tool (http://comfort.cbe.berkeley.edu/EN). In all the spaces under monitoring the people are expected to be in thermal comfort, since all values are within the thermal comfort range of -0.7
