Launched in 2008, the InvEnt "Spirit of Invention" Scholarship program is Avery Dennison Foundation's first initiative outside the United States and provides scholarship recipients more than just financial support. The program includes a one-and-a-half-day "Spirit of Invention" workshop at Avery Dennison's Neal Research Center in Kunshan, where the students are trained in the innovation process, learning how to discover opportunities to innovate and develop their inventive and entrepreneurial skills. In addition, throughout the year, the Foundation sponsors "Discover Innovation" workshops on the campuses of the selected universities, where promising undergraduate students participate in interactive lectures with Avery Dennison scientists and experimental team projects that foster invention and innovation. These activities further Avery Dennison Foundation's goal to inspire innovation and entrepreneurship and develop the next generation of business leaders in China.
