Programme
Design Thinking Process Part 1
Design Thinking Process Part 2
Team up for the Graduate Symposium (November 30, 2021) as part of the Energy Week @ ETH with other PhDs to explore the topic of energy, broaden your horizon by interacting with people from different backgrounds and experience a full Design Thinking process. Hear from energy start-ups to understand their current challenges, define a relevant problem within the energy space with your team, and then develop, prototype and pitch a solution in one day.
What is a Design Thinking Process? You and your team will experience a full cycle of the Design Thinking methodology and apply a human-centered innovation mindset to create solutions for our future energy system. Based on the core principles of empathy, collaboration and agility, Design Thinking offers a problem-solving approach that puts actual needs and pain points of affected stakeholders at the core.
