The workshop sessions and activities centered on different elements that set apart faculty at top institutions, including outstanding research and teaching, professional and scientific expertise, as well as connections with industry and society via incubation and commercialization initiatives.

Participants presented their current research and conducted teaching demonstrations while also obtaining feedback and guidance from experienced faculty members. Furthermore, attendees took part in a group activity focused on incubation, directed by the I-Hub Foundation for Cobotics (IHFC) for three days. The workshop additionally concentrated on crucial elements like enhancing the participants' confidence.
