These are core questions at a workshop for international PhD students in geoscience organized by the Marie Sklodowska-Curie action INITIATE. The students will present their results at a public DEMO that will take place on Friday March 14th from 10.30 - 12.00 in Active Room 4 in Realfagbygget, Allégaten 41.
To find the room go to floor 1, turn right and walk through the corridor until you see the sign "Aktiv 4) to your right. Here are the directions on MazeMap.
10.30 – 10.40. Introduction.
10.40 – 10.55. SWARM-L: System for Warning, Assessing Risk and Modeling of Landslides: William Munday, Wenchao Cheng and Zsuzsanna Vatai
10.55 – 11.10. GeoMosaic Expertise: From fragments to coherence. Tom Garot, Nida Patla, Ingra Barbosa
11.10 – 11.25. Endless Water: Seeing beyond the surface: Francina Saiz, Kartik Sakkarwal and Chris Di Paolo
11.25 – 12.00. General discussion.

The DEMO is the final stage of a four-day workshop where three teams of PhD students will explore possibilities for creating consultancy services on the basis of their skills in geo science.
The workshop applies two methods that will help the teams to formulate value propositions for their prototype consultancy services. The Google design sprint will help them explore possible problems to solve with value propositions. The lean canvas will help them to develop a business model for their prototype.
In addition, they will have to communicate their projects to investors, stakeholders, and the general public. This is why we invite you all to this DEMO session! You are encouraged to ask questions and give them feedback on their prototypes.
