Design Thinking Studios

Global problems need a global approach to be solved. The Design Thinking Studios combine a complex topic and problem solving with means of Design Thinking. By participating in the 16-week Design Thinking Studio program, you can bring in your expertise in your field of study or your first working experience in organizations, initiatives, startups, or as a young professional.

May your interest be sustainability, open innovation in education, digital health, artificial intelligence, or else – you can be sure to develop your skills to foster innovation, your network, and references in a specialized field or even bring forward a project you are presently working on.

Each Studio topic will be running for a period of two to three years. As a participant, you can participate in one of our semester programs. Apart from the 16-week program, it gives you as well the opportunity to take part in selected formats of Design Thinking within a focus topic like the Global Design Thinking Workshop.
