Researcher Innovation Program

Connect | Innovate | Thrive

Join us for a two-day workshop to explore your research/tech solution's commercial potential.

Achieve your goals, make an impact, and elevate your career. Learn with like-minded people at our hands-on workshop. Invest two days today, to go faster in the future.

We know that you want to:

  • Finish your degree, publication or thesis
  • Excel in your studies and research
  • Make a difference
  • Build the skills for a promising career
  • Establish a reputation

Our workshop will introduce you to new ways of thinking, and useful tools and techniques in areas like innovation, design thinking and agile methods. It will build your future-focused skills in creativity, problem-solving and critical thinking.

You’ll analyse how your research (or ideas) can address real-world and people-focussed challenges to drive positive change in a complex world, and perhaps create the framework for a start-up or money-making proposal in the process. You can even use the tools to build your personal brand.

Connect meaningfully with your peers who are challenged and excited by similar things to build lasting relationships for your uni/research journey.
