Innovation is the main pillar of Europe future and it is the main objective of EU policies. Innovationrequires, to be effective, trained researchers and designers with enhanced creativity, problem settingand problem solving skills. These skills are nowadays taught in short courses 2 or 3 days long (tooshort to overcome psychological inertia) and are not taught at school.The Tetris project will therefore develop:- a multimedia training material to attract people to the subject of the project, give them the basicsof creativity and help them to overcome psychological inertia- a prototype of train the trainer course for the teaching of creativity, problem setting and problemsolving- handbooks as reference to be given to teachers and students- a report on introducing TRIZ at schoolsTETRIS will be designed accordingly to the needs of the business world (a specific research will becarried on on this topic). TETRIS is devoted both to students and both to young researchers.The methodology and techniques taught by TETRIS will be adapted from the TRIZ methodology.The TETRIS project however won’t just train the teachers of a basic TRIZ course, it will develop acourse that will overcome psychological inertia and will boost creativity, problem setting andproblem solving capacities. Therefore those that will have attended the TETRIS course will be morecreative, will have an enhanced capacity in understanding situations and problems, and will findinnovative solutions more easily. Moreover they will be able to learn and internalize more easilyand quickly more advanced techniques and tools to enforce these skills because psychologicalinertia will have been already overcome.Testing courses will be made both in companies and schools. The feedback from this testing will beused to improve the prototype of the train the teachers course and of the training materials.Meetings are foreseen to persuade decision makers, stakeholders and potential user to adopt theTETRIS methodology.
