The application phase for the Service Design Thinking (SDT) program is currently in full swing. This extraordinary teaching program (13.5 ECTS) is aimed at students who are currently in the master’s program or who will start by the end of the year.

Over a 9-month period (starting October 2021), students receive intensive training in approaches to human-centric innovation (design thinking) and apply their knowledge to challenges posed by well-known organizations, in teams together with students from a SUGAR partner university. Each team receives its own coach, its own team budget, and project space.

A successful and exciting round of KIT's own Accelerator Program upCAT is coming to an end - on July 20 from 4-6 p.m. the virtual Demo Day will take place!

In addition to presentations of the upCAT participants you will see pitches from student teams of the KIT Sustainable Innovation Challenge. (Go to ARRTI to learn more about this Challenge and the program of the Academy for Responsible Research, Teaching, and Innovation).

The startup catavis, which participated in our upCAT accelerator in 2020, could convince at the KIT NEULAND Gründerpitch and won the 1st place. Additionally, they were awarded by the viewers with the audience award.

Congratulations to Sandra Kröll, Dr. Patrick Bitterwolf and Dr. Ahmed Zoheir!
