LUMINA SUMMER SCHOOL

Emerging Technology & Sustainability: Shaping Tomorrow’s World

Lumina Summer School is an intensive training program designed to develop project management, leadership, and problem-solving skills with a focus on business cases in two macro-fields: sustainability and emerging technologies. Hosted by H-FARM College, the program offers a hands-on and dynamic learning experience, bridging the gap between academia and the professional world.

The curriculum integrates theoretical knowledge, real-world business cases, and interactive project simulations, preparing participants to turn challenges into opportunities in today’s evolving industries.

Participants will engage in a collaborative environment, working alongside peers, industry experts, and company executives, gaining exposure to cutting-edge industry trends. The experiential learning approach ensures that concepts are immediately applied through interactive workshops, case studies, and team-based challenges.

The Summer School has two streams: selected companies will be presenting simultaneously business cases focusing on one side on ‘sustainability’ and on the other on ‘emerging technologies’.
