Unleashing the impact of our theses to invent a better future, together
This is an invitation from a fellow DLSPH Ph.D. candidate to imagine a different future and to join forces to create it.
Our theses are driven by innovative ideas, that we invested years and years of our lives developing and transforming into evaluated, high-quality insights and evidence. Yet, most of our work will have unclear impact, while remaining largely unknown.
What if we had the opportunity to maximize the impact of our intellectual contributions by joining forces to create a vision of a healthy future and to steer change in the world towards our vision?
To begin with, let’s start making visible what is invisible.
Please complete the following short survey which should not take more than 5 minutes, before December 20, 2019. It is designed to reveal how ready we are for a quest like this, and what we need to do to pursue it successfully.
