The Doctoral Research & Innovation Exchange brings together researchers, practitioner doctoral candidates, doctoral faculty, entrepreneurs, business leaders, professionals and other stakeholders for conversations around questions at the intersection of research, innovation and practice.
Why this session?
There is potentially a transferable process behind doctoral research: how a researcher moves from a question, through framing and sense-making, to examining assumptions, gathering and interpreting evidence, and developing conclusions.
Startups, researchers and those supporting innovation often approach problems differently. They use different terminology, work with different assumptions and have different expectations about what constitutes useful evidence or a good outcome.

What does doctoral thinking actually feel like?
The Doctoral-Thinking Test Drive is a hands-on introduction to doctoral-level critical inquiry. Rather than explaining doctoral thinking theoretically, participants experience it by working through a real-world challenge and questioning what they think they know, what they are assuming, what they need to know and what they might be missing.
The Test Drive is designed for professionals considering doctoral study, as well as academics and professionals interested in developing or supporting doctoral-level thinking.
You will experience how doctoral thinking works — and consider whether you could see yourself developing this way of thinking.
The Test Drive Question
Don’t just hear what doctoral-level thinking is. Test it.

Event Announcement: Space Research Night 🌌
Illuminating the Cosmic Dark Ages: The Birth of the First Stars and Galaxies 💫
A public lecture by Prof. Eloy de Lera Acedo (University of Cambridge)
🗓️ Date: Wednesday 23rd September at 6.30pm
📍 Location: Aula Prima, University of Malta (Valletta Campus)
After the Big Bang, the Universe entered a long period of darkness before the first stars and galaxies began to shine. This talk explores that era, from the Cosmic Dark Ages through Cosmic Dawn to the Epoch of Reionisation, and how astronomers are using the faint 21-centimetre radio signal from hydrogen to work out when the first stars formed and how the Universe became transparent to light.
