Lab: The Innovator's Studio
Date: Thursday 22 June, 10.00am – 5.00pm
Location: Richmond Barracks, Dublin 8
The next session in our Innovation Series 2023, is our Lab “The Innovator's Studio”, 22 June, Richmond Barracks, Dublin 8, 10.00am – 5.00pm. This is a one day deep-dive laboratory where your ideas can come to life.
Facilitated by UCD Innovation Academy, the day will focus on Design Thinking and aims to provide you with the skills, tools and mindset you need to innovate your practice. This will also be an opportunity to connect and collaborate with like-minded practitioners.
You will work through the five stages of Design Thinking in a fast-paced day designed to generate ideas and advance them to the point where they can be tested. Design Thinking is a human centred problem solving methodology used by changemakers around the world. You’ll leave with tangible outputs that are ready to be applied within your own work context.
Founded in 2010, UCD Innovation Academy specialises in innovation, creativity, leadership, entrepreneurship and design thinking. It aims to be a catalyst for positive change in individuals, organisations and our society overall.
Join us and be inspired by stories of innovation, strengthen your ability to innovate and expand your creative skills. If this is your first time taking part in IDEA’s Innovation Series this year, you'll get a chance to familiarise yourself with the Innovator's Toolkit beforehand. The Studio will be a space where you can share experiences, explore, and gain support. It is also a great opportunity to do some hands-on experimenting.
This lab fits into the wider series of innovation activities organised by IDEA in 2023. The in-depth Knowledge and Skills workshop “The Innovator’s Toolkit”, and the topics explored in IDEA’s 2023 Annual Conference compliment the Innovator’s Studio Lab.
