GR Expansivity Program 2024 - Macquarie Incubator & GRA Module 4

EXPANSIVITY is designed to equip you with creative thinking skills and knowledge to succeed in both the academic and professional world.

Consisting of four modules that focus on developing essential tools and techniques to cultivate a creative outlook to your research and beyond, with feedback and support from the facilitator and peers as you develop your skills.

Designed around interactive exercises, group discussions, and real-life case studies, you'll gain a deeper understanding of how to develop a design-thinking approach to your research projects, harness an entrepreneurial mindset to drive innovation, and use self-reflection to continuously improve your work.

Module Four: Solve Social Challenges and Wicked problems with Creative Research

Explore real world examples to inspire your journey

In this module we look at wicked problems and socio-technical change. How can we tackle this as researchers? Through more creative thinking, of course! As academics we are great at critical thinking. How might we balance that and apply our analytics and amazing critical mindset to do good in the world? We’ll explore examples of research, like yours, that have been commercialised into real world change projects for massive impact.
