Engagement with Students and Researchers
The SiX project will actively involve students from various undergraduate and graduate study cycles, including those in Communication Design, Design of Health Technologies, and related fields. Students will have opportunities to participate in co-design workshops, contribute to prototype development, and engage in research activities. This will provide valuable learning experiences for students while enriching the project with diverse perspectives and skills.
The project will also engage with PhD and MA students through workshops and research activities, contributing to knowledge dissemination and integration into academic curricula.
