Innovation Assignment

Via a Networking Event at the start of the Innovation Assignment module, you are enabled to do your research project acquisition. In the following weeks you work in interdisciplinary teams on complex issues from the professional field. This module provides a dynamic combination of co-creation with fellow students and the professional field, academic depth provided by (guest) lectures and professorships, and an evidence-based approach with insights from different disciplinary perspectives.

The Innovation Assignment module holds a pivotal role within the MIBP programme. The module starts with an interactive networking event where you connect with external organisations and professionals to secure a real‑life project assignment. You then work through a structured innovation and research process, exploring the challenge from multiple angles using approaches such as systems thinking, problem analysis, ideation, design thinking, stakeholder analysis, value creation, and impact definition.

Throughout the module, you collaborate with students from diverse backgrounds to develop an integrated and meaningful solution. By combining different perspectives, you learn to analyse complex issues and translate them into clear, well‑grounded solutions that create value for organisations and society.
