The Service Design Thinking (SDT) program run by the Karlsruhe Service Research Institute (KSRI) is the local instantiation of the SUGAR program at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). In a 9-months „hands-on“ class international top students work in small teams to develop disruptive innovations by applying the human-centric innovation approach Design Thinking.
The participating students visit lectures on human-centric design and innovation and apply what they have learned to real innovation challenges provided by major companies. In order to facilitate the application of theoretical knowledge gained through the lectures to the respective projects, the student teams are coached by the lecturers as well as an extended teaching team.
Moreover, each challenge provided by a corporate partner is tackled by a team of 6 - 8 students from the KIT and one further university from the SUGAR Network. This adds more diversity to the team and the students gain experience in remote collaboration in projects.
Since 2013, about 100 KIT students got educated in the SDT program, they worked on 23 challenges from a broad variety of companies and industries. If you are interested in participating in the SDT program as a company or a student, please get in touch with us. You may also find further information about the program on our website.
Kind regards,
Niels Feldmann
(Founder and Head of the SDT Program)
