Forschungszentrum Jülich

In this YES-based workshop, you will look at your own research from a new perspective. Using the Research Canvas approach, you will reflect on your work, identify potential users and stakeholders, and explore first application contexts.

The workshop is designed to help you move from a research question towards a clearer transfer perspective. You do not need a finished idea to join. Curiosity about what your research could become is enough.
