Prototype your PhD
Two-day workshop for doctoral candidates
Make your research come alive – at the workshop Prototype your PhD!
The workshop 'Prototype your PhD' will teach you how to create actual models to illustrate the aim of your research project. And this is possible in all research fields, irrespective of how theoretical they may be, with the help of the rapid prototyping approach.
Participants will learn how to use the fascinating creative techniques derived from design thinking and to present what they produce succinctly and convincingly using the storyteller method. The workshop, which will be held in English, is directed at doctoral candidates.
