The aims of the Summer School on Engineering Design Research are to make PhD students who are working on topics related to Design Science better qualified and equipped for their research by (i) helping them select a theoretical foundation and develop a research approach, and (ii) encouraging discussion and collaboration.
The objectives are to provide the participants with:
- insight into existing design theories and models to enable the selection of a suitable theoretical foundation,
- an overview of design research methods to enable them to develop the most appropriate approach for their own research,
- an interactive environment in which individual research topics are presented to and discussed with other participants and the lecturers,
- the opportunity to get to know and learn from other researchers and develop long-term collaborations.
To achieve the objectives, participants are actively engaged in the Summer School: the emphasis is on discussions and exercises based around the research projects of the participants.
