Natasa's Christou presentation on Creativity during the Career Days 2016 event organized by the Careers Office. Entrepreneurship part coordinated and presented by the C4E.
Remember to "be nice to nerds" and "Success is a lousy teacher" and a lot more from these two inspiring leaders and entrepreneurs from two of the world's largest companies - Steve Jobs and Bill Gates.
The Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity is the biggest global award show in brand communications and an annual gathering of creative industry professionals. Landor is excited to have had the opportunity to share its insights at Cannes with some of the world’s top creative minds.
At LILab, we believe play and the connection it builds among people and ideas provides innovator’s with the necessary competencies they need in order to drive change. Children, who are not afraid of failing, are the role models we look up to in terms of creativity, fearless exploration and innovation.
This is why we have created the Playnnovation™ framework, a game-based hands-on experience aimed at providing a safe space to improvise, imagine and be inspired.
The framework brings into focus the core issues of an innovator's journey such as limited resources, unpredictability and a continuous changing context. Through a model based on an evolving set of rules, we combine creative quiet times with hectic sprints which model real-life situations.
The Playnnovation™ framework was created by Jarazet Altamirano, Maria Luisa Diaz, Ana Laure Zouater and Paula Mertens.

Starting a mobile applications company in Cyprus.
Creating an innovative entrepreneurial company in Cyprus in the field of custom mobile application design and development serving international and national local customers.

Centre for Entrepreneurship (C4E) of the University of Cyprus and Berklee Institute for Creative Entrepreneurship (ICE) present the:
Why are some designs better than others, and what can you do about it? (The Talk)
If you've ever described a poster as heavy, a website as dense, an app as clumsy or an object as whimsical, you probably already know the answer. Recent psychology research is showing that experiential metaphors are key emotional drivers that impact our perception of the world. Applying these findings to design confirms what designers have learned throughout their careers—good design is subconscious first and rational second. Michael will share stories from this research and the IDEO portfolio then share tools to help you be more consciously subconscious.
Is User Centered Design a buzzword, a technique, or a methodology? Why does "UCD" get so much attention? How has it changed how teams approach web application usability efforts? Is UCD right for you?
1. User Centered Design: Evolving from Dot-Com to Web 2.0
2. Why UCD? (Development, Business, Design benefits)
3. Development process: UCD vs. Agile vs. Waterfall
4. Case Studies: User Centered Design success stories
5. Is UCD right for you?: Planning a UCD process for your product
6. Q & A
This workshop had 5 main goals:
1) Overview about design thinking
2) Understand a bit about how our mind works through the 30 circles exercise
3) Work deep on the problem definition
4) Brainstorming through using Disney Method to stimulate the creative side of the mind
5) Prototype something tangible

Research shows that we think like we speak. The first step in Visual Design Thinking, then, is learning visual language. Come learn Glyph™, a language that balances verbal and visual elements to improve the way you learn, remember, create, and communicate. After this 2.5 hour workshop, you will be bursting through that “I can’t draw” trap and stepping into your new role as a standout visual problem solver.
Come join Stanford’s Alli McKee for a workshop that will build your creative confidence and amplify your communication. With extensive experience in both business (Bain & Company + Stanford GSB) and design (IDEO.org + Stanford d.school), Alli has come from Silicon Valley to bring you the best of both worlds to deliver a unique experience that is challenging, fun, and fulfilling.

1. Be Creative!
2. Group Activity SMALL GROUP DISCUSSION QUESTION: What helps you to be creative?
3. “Creativity is inventing, experimenting, growing, taking risks, breaking rules, making mistakes, and having fun.” Mary Lou Cook
4. The Target of Life is a very helpful way to understand our individual and collective well-being.
5. When you’re centered in the heart of the Target of Life, you’re at your best and life seems brighter. You see clearly and therefore make optimal decisions. You feel peaceful, loving, energetic, and happy. You’re in a good position to handle just about anything. However, when things happen that go against our desires and expectations, it’s easy to get pulled off center.
6. We experience more fear and negativity. We say and do things we regret. The immune system weakens and our productivity declines. We lose touch with what’s really important to us. Unhealthy stress increases and our sensitivity toward others decreases. And the further away from the center we move, the worse it gets!
7. That’s why it’s so important to catch early signs of stress, and to use all of our creativity to stay as centered as possible. When we are centered in the heart on the Target of Life, difficulties still crop up, but we can handle them much more smoothly and effectively. The more centered we are, the greater our well-being, the wiser our choices, and the more effective we are in everything we do.
8. Creativity is the power to bring something new and useful into existence.
9. You are an enormously creative person! That creativity is always within you, and you must express it in order to experience the satisfaction and joy that is your birthright.
10. Terrorism, widespread public scandals, economic uncertainties, international conflicts, and a host of other problems have launched us into a turbulent, yet potential-filled 21st century. Has the full measure of our creativity ever been needed more?
11. A life brimming with creativity is no longer the luxury of a few; it’s the duty and privilege of all of us.
12. Group Activity SMALL GROUP DISCUSSION QUESTION: What are some factors that keep people from becoming more creative?
13. CAUTION! Roadblocks Ahead Roadblocks that typically prevent capable people from expressing their creativity more fully: Thinking “I’m not very creative.” Fear of criticism from others. “That’s not my job.” Stress, Laziness, Self-Criticism. “There’s only one right way.”
14. CAUTION! Roadblocks Ahead Wasting time on nonessentials. “You have to follow the rules.” Too much talk, too little doing. Fear of failure. Resistance to change. Limiting beliefs. Worrying about who gets credit. Lack of faith.
15. Though we express it in different ways and to varying degrees, creativity is a gift that has been given in abundance to each of us.
16. Continually remind yourself of this truth: You are a
Need and Importance of Creativity, how creativity helps to overcome challenges.Various methods that can be used to foster your creativity, and some novel ways people have adopted to enhance their creativity pool.
Creativity isn't just for artists, musicians, writers, and designers. We all have the ability to be excellent creative thinkers. - https://www.milestechnologies.com

Overview of the potential financing options available to Cypriot startups based on their stage of growth. Exploring the key information investors are looking for in a startup by exploring a pitch deck.
For decades Cyprus has been established as a vibrant business hub with a thriving
economy. Cyprus’ economic performance is indicated in various global reports
documenting the set of factors that contribute to its developed high-income status.
With this report the Centre for Entrepreneurship of the University of Cyprus intends to
evaluate these favorable conditions in relation to the formation, operation and evolution
of entrepreneurship in Cyprus.
The presentation will be focused to show that, an idea is nothing without the hard work that most of the times, no one thinks of. Will try to give an inside point of view on how a Cyprus based company treats ideas and solutions salespeople in general, what they should be prepared for, what options/ decisions they should take before requesting a business meeting. General understanding of B2B and B2C models, what a business concept is and why is needed, how do companies operate towards expenses – a brief inside of budget and time frames.
By 2020, several key building blocks of the future tech universe have been firmly established. Significant progress in areas such as quantum computing, big data, artificial intelligence, robotics and immersive reality have been made, enabling a clearer understanding of how tech will develop in the next 10-20 years.
By 2030, emerging robotics and AI will have made remarkable progress in changing the face of current industries and processes. Most fast food outlets will run mainly on robotic labour, with human labour representing only a small fraction of total spend. AI will be able to support, and eventually supplant, at least 90% of current effort implemented by service professionals such as accounting, consulting, or law.
And by 2040, we will feel comfortable enough with this technology that it will be widely adapted. Our cities, homes and workplaces will be transformed through technology and predictive analytics. Self-driving vehicles will reduce congestion and pollution. Robots will remove the need for widespread human labour. Most processes, such as financial management, will be fully automated and managed by intelligent agents, removing the need for mundane tasks like queuing at a bank or going to a supermarket for groceries.
Advances in gene therapies and biological – mechatronic interfaces will rapidly transform medical technology and health outcomes. These have the potential to not only significantly expand human lifespan, but also improve human health.
At the same time, it is clear that as a society and as a government / economic policy, we are far behind the curve in understanding how these will affect our educational systems, employment and the very idea of human potential.
Comparatively few citizens will be able to adapt successfully to gainful employment (or entrepreneurship) in the future tech society. This means that families and citizens today need to start making decisions for how they will live 20 years from now. These decisions affect their own educational and investment choices, as well as the very nature of our society.
Philip Ammerman will discuss the future trends in tech and how these will affect companies, families and governments in 2030 and 2040.
Το GEM αποτελεί ένα σημαντικό, έγκυρο και διεθνώς αναγνωρισμένο στατιστικό εργαλείο για την αξιολόγηση της επιχειρηματικότητας σε πάνω από 100+ οικονομίες που συμμετέχουν ανά το παγκόσμιο. Με βάση τα αποτελέσματα του GEM εκδίδονται κάθε χρόνο δυο εκθέσεις αναφοράς για την επιχειρηματικότητα, σε παγκόσμιο και εθνικό επίπεδο. Το Κέντρο Επιχειρηματικότητας του Πανεπιστημίου Κύπρου έχει αναλάβει τον συντονιστικό ρόλο για τη συμμετοχή της Κύπρου στο GEM και την ολοκλήρωση των απαιτήσεων του, και τη συγγραφή της εθνικής έκθεσης αναφοράς. Η φετινή Έκθεση Αναφοράς παρουσιάζει συγκρίσεις στους δείχτες του GEM μεταξύ της Κύπρου και άλλων χωρών. H συμμετοχή της Κύπρου στο GEM γίνεται με χορηγία από το Υπουργείο Ενέργειας, Εμπορίου και Βιομηχανίας και η διάχυση των αποτελεσμάτων με την χορηγία της PwC Κύπρου.
The seminar will present the data sets, methodology and key findings of two AUEB funded research projects on the new entrepreneurial paradigm and the startup ecosystem that emerged during the recent economic crisis in Greece.
The programme will provide the participants with the necessary skills to help them negotiate effectively, and at the same time maintain good relationships with their counterparts.
By the end of the 2-hour workshop, participants will be able to:
Apply the necessary negotiation tactics depending on the situation
Adjust their behaviour and style depending on who they are negotiating with
Avoid errors and traps that lead to dead ends in negotiations
Everyone has great ideas, and many of us have more than one. But how can you evaluate your idea to understand whether it’s good enough to launch as a business?
Το design thinking είναι μια ανθρωποκεντρική, διεπιστημονική προσέγγιση που έχει ως στόχο να βοηθήσει τις επιχειρήσεις (π.χ. νεοσύστατες εταιρείες) να αλλάξουν και να καινοτομήσουν. Το design thinking ακολουθεί μια προσέγγιση η οποία συνδυάζει δημιουργική και ορθολογική σκέψη, και περιλαμβάνει μια διαδικασία που αποτελείται από ενσυναίσθηση (emphasize), παραγωγή ιδεών (idea) και δημιουργία πρωτοτύπων (prototype).
The gaming industry is exponentially expanding touching everyone's lives daily without even realizing it. Millions of games have been released and are now readily available for us to play from our living room to our social media on our phone. Working in this industry is truly fascinating. Working in a truly global company with offices around the world is even more fascinating.
I will share with you my knowledge on gaming, discuss its future and teach you best practises in working with teams of different cultures.
Σε αυτή την παρουσίαση θα καλυφθούν τα βασικά για το επιχειρηματικό σχέδιο: τι είναι, γιατί το χρειαζόμαστε, σε ποιους απευθύνεται, τι περιέχει – ορισμοί για κάποιες έννοιες, ποια “εργαλεία” χρησιμοποιούνται για την δημιουργία των σημαντικών ενοτήτων του, ποιοι οι λόγοι απόρριψης του από τους επενδυτές και ποια είδη κινδύνων στην εκπόνηση του.
Its not always easy to have your interview done face to face with the company you want to work and is miles away from you. First impressions are key and many companies ask for either a live video interview or that you explain yourself in an one minute video.
How do you do that? What are the crucial things to avoid in such situations? Yes you might be doing the video home but should you be wearing your favorite sports t-shirt while the TV is on in the background?
We will talk about the right set up, the right lighting, and how to make eye contact even through a camera. Simple steps of video editing will be shown as well as examples will be given.
The threat of automation implies a race between education and technology. In most countries, education systems are not providing workers with the skills necessary to compete in today’s job markets. The growing mismatch between skills demand and supply holds back economic growth and undermines opportunities. At the same time, the returns to human capital are high in most countries, and a growing skills premium is evident in much of the world. Automation simultaneously results in deskilling and imposes a need for new skills, and is changing what education will need to look like in the future.

Creativity is not just for artists, musicians, writers, and designers. We
are all creative, but the people who are known for it have spent time
cultivating it, failing at it, and working at it
14. If changes occur in

Dare to Embrace
Failure, but fail
wisely
Allow yourself to embrace
the process of
experimentation. This
doesn’t mean that being
wrong equals to being
creative. But if you are not
prepared to be wrong you
will never come up with
anything original
Remember that the biggest
inventions in history
happened by accident.
19. #2
Dare to take
action
If you only do what you
can do you will never be
better that you are
If you have ideas, but don’t
act on them, you are
imaginative but not
creative
20. #3
Dare to stay
curious
The ability to challenge
basic assumptions,
empowers divergent and
critical thinking.
The more critical thinker
you become the better
chances are to discover
or create something
novel!
21. #4
Dare to Be you
What are you really good
at?
What are your values?
What are your
weaknesses?
22. #5
Dare to Work on
something you
are truly
passionate about
Boyan Slat, just 19 years
old, designed The world’s
first ocean cleaning
system dedicated for
cleaning plastic waste from
the oceans.
Boyan is obsessed with
diving and upset about all
the waste that destroys our
oceans

persistent
You never know
how
Close you are…
never
Give up on your
dreams.
Stick to the
process. Results
do come over time

Dare to have life
experiences
If Steve Jobs didn’t take
Calligraphy classes in his
youth, today Apple’s
designs might not have

“It was the first computer
with beautiful typography,”
Jobs said. “If I had never
dropped in on that single
course in college, the Mac
