Extend the Lifecycle Innovation Camp

Dear Students,

Welcome to the International "Extend the Lifecycle Innovation Camp" supported by Bernhard Schulte
Shipmanagement (BSM). We are extremely happy to welcome you at our online event from November 16-23. To
help you prepare for the event, we have put together this very short information document. You will work together
in teams of 6 members, 3 students from Europe and 3 students from the Asia-Pacific region, to come up with an
innovative solution to a given challenge. When working together in a team, it is very important that everybody finds
their place and knows what their role is, so that the team can function perfectly. We would therefore like to give you
some guidance on how to distribute the roles within your team. Just read your way through the next pages to get
an idea and when you meet your teammates for the first time, discuss who would want to take which role. If you
have any questions, do not hesitate to reach out to us.
And last, but not least, here are also some more general tips on how to work in an international team with students
from another continent:
1. We highly encourage you to get in touch with your teammates before the Innovation Camp (we will introduce you to
each other via email) to get to know each other. Set up a WhatsApp group, group chat on Facebook or similar if you like
2. Be aware of the different time zones you are in. When it's morning in Europe, it's afternoon in Asia-Pacific, so be patient
with your team mates when you don't receive an answer immediately

We hope you are already looking forward to the Innovation Camp as much as we do.
See you soon,
The JA Europe Organising Team
