Design-Thinking  - Innovation Process in Practice is a key qualification that enables students and industry partners to go through the iterative Design Thinking process together based on a concrete problem. The course will be held in close cooperation with ENI, ARENA2036 and IAT.

In interdisciplinary and cross-university teams, you will develop innovative solutions for real problems during the course. You will be supported by experienced design thinking mentors and industry experts. In order to go through this process, there are a variety of tools and techniques that will be used as needed. Furthermore, Design Thinking includes a mindset that develops during the course of the project. This includes a good portion of openness, optimism, decisiveness, empathy, teamwork, and learning from mistakes. Thematically, the challenges are currently oriented towards the topic of sustainability, whereby this includes ecological, economic and social content.

This SQ takes place every semester.
