StuFoExpo presents: Fail Better – The Art of Failing in Resarch
StuFoExpo presents: Fail Better – The Art of Failing in Resarch
What do you do when a reseach project doesn’t deliver what it’s suppposed to? When experiments fail, data leads to nowhere, or your hypothesis falls flat?
It’s simple: We talk about it.
This you, StuFoExpo is taking a different turn. On December 5, we’re celebrating the art of failure – openly, reflectively, and with a sense of humor.
In a small and supportive setting, students will share stories of projects that didn’t go as planned – and what they learned along the way.
Everyone making a contribution can bring along 2-3 guests.
In preparation to the event we offer a workshop that hepls you to communicate failures constructively – and at the same time you learn how to present in a confident and engaging way. Whether it's a pitch & poster, or science slam – you decide how you want to present your project.
We’re looking for your contributions!
Your project didn’t go as expected?
