Resource talk:How to develop an innovation space to support creativity and design research

As a university innovation fellows candidate for 2022, I developed a project that aims to increase innovation throughout my campus, Middle East Technical University. My colleagues and I sought to bring school communities together to think innovatively and design solutions to those problems. This project led me to become a UIF Candidate. Moreover, in addition to my experience on this subject, reading this article made me see some flaws in my project development process. I think this article is an excellent road map for developing an innovation space, which is essential for improved higher education.

I really liked how this resource illustrated the concrete abstract steps one would nee to develop an innovation space to support creativity and design research. In our UIF project, the 2020 cohort is trying to to a research reboot on campus; to increase opportunities and awareness about research. When thinking about the steps, I think this resource does a great job in what you should do. We have not really thought about the materials which go into such a center on campus. In addition, to supplies in funding, what may go into a research center?
