Before the BIP on-site activities take place, the course kicks off online with interactive brainstorming sessions to get to know each other, form well-matched teams, and identify promising topics. During this session, teams will choose and divide project topics to work on in the run-up to the BIP, so everyone starts the programme with a clear focus and shared goals. This will be followed up with an intensive on-site week at Fontys Tilburg in October. This week is full of inspiration sessions, workshops, group work and network sessions from Monday to Friday. During the on-site project week, international teams will work on real-life challenges related to the digital transformation and resilience of supply chains.
