Looking for the needle in the haystack – crowdsourcing ideas and talent


Dr. Sanna Fowler, Deputy Director
Communications & Development, EPFL

Learn how EPFL uses crowdsourcing to work towards co-creation for innovation, community engagement and finding talents. One of the biggest challenges in a university of almost 15,000 people is getting them to talk to each other and particularly to talk to people from other fields – this is where disruptive innovation usually happens, at the crossroads of disciplines. How do you find the really bright sparks from among a huge group of people who are already selected on intelligence – this way of engaging people can be a good way of identifying the ’needle in the haystack'.
