Content
This module prepares students to have an innovative impact on society and business. The emphasis in this module is the application of the whole research cycle, with an evidence-based approach. The starting point of the Innovation Assignment is a wicked problem from the professional field, provided by the professorships involved. Students work on this problem in interdisciplinary teams of two students. As a team students need to create a solution by combining knowledge and skills from different disciplines. The combination of resources from various disciplines should create the innovation that brings the wicked problem a step closer to its solution.
