A workshop offered by Transfer Center enaCom and Bonn Graduate Center.

Your research holds potential beyond academia — this workshop helps you discover what that could look like in practice. In a hands-on format, you will learn how to work effectively with generative AI tools such as ChatGPT. The focus is on prompting techniques and on using AI as a sparring partner for structured thinking, ideation, and exploration. Together, we will experiment with how AI can support you in identifying real-world applications for your research — from societal impact and industry use cases to innovation projects or entrepreneurial ideas. Starting a business can be one possible path, but it is not the goal of the workshop.

No prior business or technical background is required. All you need is curiosity, openness, and an interest in exploring new directions for your work.

This workshop for PhD students/PostDocs is part of the Bonn Doctorate plus program and units can be acquired.
