What you can expect

Discover innovative ways to develop creative ideas—whether for topics and content for your term paper or final dissertation, for product development and refinement, or for process optimization.

In this interactive workshop, you, as a participant, will propose spontaneous questions and topics, which we’ll explore together using lesser-known creativity techniques.

You’ll receive a brief, easy-to-understand introduction to specific creativity techniques. We’ll then immediately apply these methods to the topics you’ve suggested to generate new ideas for short academic papers, product development, creative problem-solving, or innovative approaches.

The focus is on a playful, exploratory approach where you can experiment, find individual solutions, and engage in creative dialogue. The goal: to gain new perspectives and effectively harness your own creativity using scientifically grounded methods—regardless of your field of study.

We’ll look at a total of five methods suitable for various scenarios. To ensure there’s enough time to try them out, the workshop is divided into two parts.
