Micro-Certification Program Objectives:

• To understand the evolution of the university researcher and research impact on the economy and society.
• To learn the design thinking process related to innovation and research impact by tackling unique challenges, from ideas to validation.
• To apply design thinking methods to propose human-centered approaches to problem-solving for unmet societal or economic needs.
