Design thinking is a human-centered approach to problem-solving, especially toward so called „wicked problems”. It emphasizes empathy, creativity, and experimentation. It involves understanding users’ needs, redefining challenges, generating diverse ideas, prototyping solutions, and testing them iteratively. It is useful for university lecturers, researchers and administrative staff in that way that it can inspire innovative teaching methods and engaging learning experiences.
The main aim of this training is to introduce to ECS researchers the EURAXESS network instruments and career development support and to train them how use and benefit from them. The course will address the needs of ECS researchers by helping them enlarge their scientific networks, discuss their ideas and research with experienced international colleagues and interdisciplinary specialists, explore different research systems, and collaborate with international teams. The course will include practical exercises and follow up support using EURAXESS tools and career development support.
