Type of innovation

E-learning course that introduces basic innovation and scaling concepts, and applies these concepts to a real case study. Designed for students, scientists, development experts, and research/ innovation managers

Achieving impact at scale is one of the greatest challenges facing the research and development community, and ‘scaling of innovation’ is increasingly popular in the world of public research and development. However, innovation and scaling often mean different things for stakeholders representing research, development organizations, private sector and government organizations. To support organizations, project teams and their partners in developing a common understanding of innovation and scaling in the context of international development, an online course was developed. The course covers 6 Modules that answer questions such as: 1. What do we mean with innovation? 2. How do innovations scale as part of packages? 3. How do we ensure (gender-)responsible scaling? 4. How do we measure the Scaling Readiness of innovations? 5. How to develop evidence-based scaling strategies with partners? 6. Why invest in innovation portfolio management? The course is available in English, French and Spanish.
