Researchers
Elena Casprini (UNISI)
Seconded from the University of Siena (UNISI) to RMIT Europe
1 month, Winter 2020
I am a senior researcher from the Department of Business and Law, University of Siena (Italy). I stayed at RMIT Spain in Barcelona for a month. I enjoyed my first secondment at RMIT Spain where I had the opportunity to meet professors and researchers as well as several businesses.
I think that this experience has helped me in multiple ways. First, it has represented the cornerstone for my next planned secondments: thanks to this first experience, I got several contacts for my future research on open innovation.
Second, I have had the chance to talk to several colleagues who have deepened my expertise on both research methodologies and theories. Furthermore, RMIT Spain is surrounded by a unique environment (in an already extraordinary city such as Barcelona), close to several companies and exposed to several business, academic and cultural events: this allowed me also to appreciate what it means to live and work in a “creative city".

I think that projects such as OpenInnoTrain gives you the chance to grow both professionally and personally: an opportunity that I wish to everyone.
