Finding good and creative research ideas is a struggle for many PhD students early in their academic career. Some will find it difficult to find the right research question for their PhD, others will stop ideating after their first idea, and some will have many ideas but do not know which one to select. Ideation tools can help researchers to come with more and better research ideas.

​

We know that not every PhD student is the same and has a particular working context. Academic Creativity Labs aims to give PhD candidates a head start to reach their objectives and overcome some of their problems, like:

​

• Writing more impactful papers (top journals, implications for policy and society, managerial relevance)

• Having greater control over ideation

• Finding a good idea for a research proposal

• ... and thereby ensuring their wellbeing
