Whether developing a research project or implementing one, problem-solving is the researcher’s daily business. However, finding solutions to problems – irrespective of whether they are of conceptual or practical nature, whether they are big or small – can be time-consuming and feel frustrating, particularly once you encountered a mental block or seem to have exhausted the range of conceivable options.

Problem-solving, however, does not need to be agonizing. Quite the contrary, a small change in perspective or a little shift in thinking about a problem is often sufficient for an original solution to emerge. This workshop will introduce tactics for inducing more "Aha-Moments" in your work. Based on insights from the scientific study of problem-solving and creativity, you will learn tools facilitating greater originality and efficiency when needed.

We will also explore how recently introduced AI-powered chatbots such as ChatGTP can support your creative process.

This event is open to doctoral researchers and postdocs at KIT who are KHYS members.

The event will be held in English and run for one day, on March 10, 2025.
