On 28 August, Mats van Dalen, MSc student at the University of Twente will defend his thesis topic. And you are invited!
Universities increasingly take the lead in the design, implementation, and governance of so-called ‘innovation labs’ where science and society meet each other to co-create value in academia and practice. While innovation labs are well-documented in the literature, the multiplicity of implementations in academic contexts highlights their practical ambiguity in universities.
This thesis will introduce the term and study transdisciplinary hubs: university-based physical spaces in which traditional disciplinary boundaries are being transcended, science and society learn and work together, and education, research, and valorisation are ‘modernised’. It aims to answer the following research question: “What are the key factors that shape educational innovation in transdisciplinary hubs?”
