For the past 15 years, Patricia Stark has been working at the crossroads of people and technology. She understands just how vital it is to engage different stakeholders when it comes to developing new solutions. As part of her MBA thesis at the LIMAK Austrian Business School, she conducted research on creativity and service innovation in collaboration with Copenhagen Business School.

Patricia has been coordinating the Open Innovation in Science Impact Lab "The Future We Want!", a collaboration effort between the JKU and the Ludwig Boltzmann Gesellschaft, since 2021. The Lab's goal is to get society more involved in academia and science and create experimental space that support future endeavors and collaboration.
 

Prior to that, she had worked as a product manager and provided support services to industrial companies as well as EU projects to design innovative solutions and co-creative innovation processes.
