#Curiosita2016: Programme for the year!
Curiosita is one of the Vinci principles referring to an insatiably curious approach to life and an unrelenting quest for continuous learning.
The Curiosita forum is a monthly colloquium for contemporary thinking on the Management of Technology, Innovation and People in a systemic context, hosted by the Academic faculty of The Da Vinci Institute for Technology Management. It involves a community of enquirers including PhD students who raise burning issues concerning their work based challenges and application as experienced during their PhD research journey or are interested in supporting their co-researchers in their journey. Debates include experts from the business environment; Da Vinci staff and other interested individuals who assemble to present and discuss interesting topics, and to provide mutual support in the quest for continuous learning.
The Curiosita forum strives for enhanced participation and discourse for greater experiential learning rather than just "death by PowerPoint" - to capture Aristotle's notion of Dialectic rather than that of Rhetoric speech.
Objectives
To create a Da Vinci research and expertise community in order to:
- facilitate the execution of quality research by Da Vinci students, faculty and associates
- allow an opportunity for Da Vinci researchers to obtain experience in presenting their research verbally to experts in the corporate world, and to obtain feedback and input on their research
- to provide mutual support by sharing knowledge, experiences, contacts, tips and techniques within the research and corporate community, and
- to provide formal input on research methodology to the Da Vinci research community.
The Curiosita forums are held on the last Tuesday of every month at The Da Vinci Hotel in Sandton. For further details please email Storm@davinci.ac.za
