This timeline documents the history of elop*, starting with the early beginnings as elope, we illustrate the six completed projects as well as the major milestones and achievements of the learning platform.

Multidisciplinary and cross-cultural collaboration are emerging key competences of tomorrow's professionals. The learning and teaching platform elop* offers the possibility to acquire such experiences in the framework of a graduate program. At the core of the elop* program, constructed around an innovation-based trans-disciplinary design process, is the development of real projects with actual clients. Students of different disciplines from the elop*alliance, an international network of universities, work together using advanced information and collaboration technologies and methods.

elop*coaches workshop IV

The third elop*coaches workshop takes place at Stanford, Palo Alto, ahead of the physical kick-off week of the elop*6 project. The goal of this workshop is to go through an accelerated exercise with all the coaches from the different disciplines. The task is similar to the one of the students. The shared experience allows intense exchange about transdisciplinary collaboration and creates awareness for the challenges that the students will be confronted with during the projects.
