Would you like to teach your course in a living lab for innovation and entrepreneurship?
Welcome to DTU Skylab, and thank you for considering us as the host for your teaching!
Innovation and entrepreneurship is at the heart of everything we do, and by choosing to host your course with us, you have also chosen to make these topics an important element of your teaching. That makes you the educator of the great innovators of the future, to the ultimate benefit of all of society. Thank you for that.
We want to support you as well as we can in making your course a success, and to us, that means being active partners in every course we host. This involvement can take many shapes such as lab and workshop usage, guest lectures and teaching modules, mentoring, or cases. If you do not plan to involve us at all, DTU Skylab is probably not the right teaching venue for you.
To make sure our expectations match from the very beginning, we have written up a course commitment contract. The contract outlines what you can expect from us and what we expect from you during your course. Hosting your course with us requires you to read and accept the contract. Find it here.
Applications for the Autumn semester 2024 must be submitted no later than March 31st 2024. If you have any questions, please reach out to teachingdtuskylab@dtu.dk.
