Often excellent research results end up solely as publications occupying shelves and hard drives in libraries. There is often an untapped potential in published research that may remain unexplored due to the pervasive fear that these results are not perfect for any application!

In this workshop using research canvas, ideation techniques and understanding user-centric thinking, you will view your own research via an entrepreneurial lens. Interested graduates, post-graduates and postdocs from all areas of science are invited to learn about methods that support their innovation journey.

Knowing societal megatrends  we can focus on innovation areas that foster need-centric entrepreneurial projects at universities. You will learn how to think innovatively yourself without necessarily having to become an entrepreneur.
