Together with other PhD students and postdocs from different disciplines, you will learn in our diverse workshop program how your doctoral thesis can become a business idea and finally a company, how Design Thinking can help you and how you can convince an expert jury of your idea in a pitch. Guided by our experienced coaches, you will learn in a group of highly motivated researchers how to turn your doctoral thesis into a business idea. The workshop is free of charge and requires no previous knowledge. The YES Workshop series is supported by the Center for Entrepreneurship & Transfer (CET) of the TU Dortmund University.
