PhD course: Design science perspectives on innovation & entrepreneurship research

In collaboration with the EuroTech Universities Alliance, TU/e will again be offering the on-campus PhD course “Design Science Perspectives on Innovation and Entrepreneurship Research” in June 2025. The intensive course is specifically designed for students in a doctoral or MPhil programme. In order to participate, you should have extensive knowledge of basic theories of entrepreneurship, business design and innovation management.

This PhD course provides you with in-depth knowledge of Design Science (DS) approaches in the field of innovation and entrepreneurship. The main objective is for participants to develop an in-depth understanding of the key frameworks, concepts, models, and paradigms that collectively form the DS foundation for research in this field. In addition, you learn how to review DS-based articles and how to publish work informed by DS in top journals in the field of innovation and entrepreneurship. To complete the course, each participant has to write and deliver a short paper.

Instructors include Georges Romme, Isabelle Reymen, Duygu Keskin, Marcel Bogers (all TU/e), Jason Li-Ying (DTU), and Philip Cash (Northumbria University).
