Vision & Mission: I-TRIZ Academic Program Europe 

Our vision is that with TRIZ and other methodologies, many people can solve problems more easily and exhaust potential faster and further - whether for home, business or in the social sector - and therefore promote the development of personality, business and society. Creativity and knowledge are two essential sources for evolution; TRIZ provides tools for systematic support of problem solving and for sparking creativity.

Our mission is to make the classical TRIZ tools, as well as the current I-TRIZ tools, available to a broad public. The I-TRIZ Academic Program Europe is addressed to all educational institutions and their active teachers. Besides very low-priced software conditions, it particularly offers space to exchange views on I-TRIZ and TRIZ applications as a learning content, study together, receive information about the structure and development of own teaching methodes and share insights and also information with others. 

Basic elements of the I-TRIZ Academic Europe are:

• I-TRIZ-software und projects for research and teaching
• I-TRIZ online-academy

I-TRIZ-software and projects for research and teaching

Our I-TRIZ software is more than just an electronic display of the classical TRIZ tools. It offers new and partly more simple approaches to systematic problem solving, and includes newer TRIZ application fields (e.g. in the areas of Intellectual Property, evolution of systems or failure prevention). To make TRIZ and I-TRIZ accessible to a broad public, cheap software licenses are available for non-commercial use in research and teaching as a part of our Academic Program.

Our offer for schools, universities and other educational institutions:

• I-TRIZ-offensive Germany - Austria - Switzerland: The I-TRIZ-products Knowledge Wizard (KW) and Innovation WorkBench (IWB) for innovative problem solving are available as particularly low-priced 3-year licenses (research and teaching) in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

I-TRIZ online-academy

The I-TRIZ online-academy is the heart of our Academic Program.

• Here you receive the opportunity to exchange experiences and information as teachers to/with the themes of TRIZ and I-TRIZ.
• In addition to providing useful supplementary materials, it also concerns the question: how can we assist in structuring your teaching.
• We hope for your active participation in this, and if teachers, practioners and researchers are networking here, we wicome one step closer to our vision.

We have many ideas for building the I-TRIZ online-academy, and consider it as a growing structure with the character of a facilitated and supported online community. Therefore we look forward to your participation. The planned starting date for the online-academy is October 2010 - then you will find detailed information about entering the I-TRIZ online-academy on this page.
