ABOUT EIIS

The European Institute for Innovation and Sustainability, EIIS, is a European school created with the aim of studying and deepening issues related to innovation and sustainability.

EIIS uses innovative formats and tools that promote learning through group work, workshops and practical exercises. We are strong supporters of the “Challenge-based learning” approach, a method that, starting from a real existing problem encourages participants to cooperate and to find, together, a possible solution.

Our mission is to prepare managers and students to drive the change rather than suffer it, to make people aware of how a new business approach toward a more sustainable future can have a huge impact on their life, their business and our planet.

ABOUT EXAMS
The whole course is meant to stimulate students to learn and use the acquired knowledge in a practical and cooperative way through exercises and team-works.
The teaching method is the “Challenge-based learning”. We’ll start presenting a real existing problem and we’ll work together, in groups, in order to find possible solutions.
The final exams is a project work; students will be divided in groups and will work on the solution of the proposed challenge.
