Modules of the program<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The program consists of 4 modules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Team:<\/strong> leadership and team building, ensuring a quick building of trust, understanding and relationships with the teammates. These are the first steps of the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It tries to create teams of people from different countries, with interests, vision or passions in common<\/strong>. Nevertheless, the program searches for different skills and background, to ensure the capability to build something real.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Understand:<\/strong> participants get tools to analise the reality in a better way, ending up with a well defined focus area\/problem. The program does not want \u201crandom ideas to some minor problem\u201d, but breakthrough solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution:<\/strong> participants will learn, after the analysis, to consider other factors like cost, time and other resources. This will lead to the creation of a prototype.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Build:<\/strong> YSI will help participants getting the prototype into an actual product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How much time does it take?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Participants, even if free, have to devote 15-35 hours per week<\/strong> to this activity during the remote work period. During this time, there will be periodical check-point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Participants have to work together remotely for 4,5 months<\/strong>, before a 2 weeks intensive course in Oslo<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The application process will be divided into 4 rounds and, among around 10.000 applicants, only 24 will be selected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
