Workshops and Trainings

Founding a Company from Research

This introductory workshop is aimed at researchers who are considering starting a company – whether based on their research results or in a completely different field – but are still unsure whether their idea is viable, whether they have the necessary know-how, or how to take the first steps.
Upcoming dates can be found in the event calendar.

Design Thinking for Teaching

Design Thinking is a user-centered, creative problem-solving approach based on interdisciplinary collaboration, empathy, and iterative development. As part of the Teach-the-Teacher program, we offer a two-day training course on Design Thinking as well as additional entrepreneurship methods and tools.

In this workshop, researchers learn the method and explore how to integrate Design Thinking effectively into their teaching.
