10fridays: Open Innovation with FC Barcelona

Soccer Science Lab November 12, 2015
The 10Fridays programme offers the chance to a number of people in all TID to work on their ideas during 20% of their time. That is, 1 day per week during 10 weeks. The team must have a maximum of 3 members, ideally one or two. Up to 20 people can participate in each round and if more than 20 people apply, the proposals are selected by lottery.

A call for innovation was made within TEF, which is called 10Fridays, which was exclusively dedicated to FC Barcelona and the challenges in soccer.

For this programme, employees can propose any idea of their own harvest that targets one of the challenges set forth by the open innovation partners. It enables out of the box new ideas.
