Abstract

This study explores the role of diversity in promoting learning innovation within educational courses teams. The focus is on the courses conducted under the ATTRACT Academy Umbrella; a co-innovation program funded by the European Commission's Horizon 2020 Program. The sample consists of three educational courses involving students from Esade Business School, Istituto Europeo di Design (IED), and Telecom and Computer Science Engineers students from UPC. The study adopts a case study approach, collecting qualitative and quantitative data from 88 students. Preliminary findings suggest that integration of diversity positively influences creative and innovative outcomes. The study aims to contribute to the research on how diversity impact learning innovation. The limitations include the correlational nature of the analysis and the need for further generalization.
