Kuidas sünnib teadusest ühiskondlik ja majanduslik mõju? DESCRIPTION:Eesti Teadusagentuur korraldab 3. detsembril 2026 Tartu V Spa konverentsikeskuses teadusfoorumi „TeadusEST 2026“\, kus võtame fookusesse ühe Eesti teadus- ja innovatsioonisüsteemi keskse küsimuse: kuidas sünnib teadusest ühiskondlik ja majanduslik mõju?\n\n \n\nEesti teadus on hinnatud ja rahvusvaheliselt konkurentsivõimeline\, kuid teaduse\, ettevõtluse ja avaliku sektori koostööd raskendavad sageli erinevad ootused\, tööviisid ja eesmärgid. Ülikoolid väärtustavad teaduslikku tipptaset ja uusi avastusi\, ettevõtted vajavad kiireid lahendusi ning riik ootab vastuseid ühiskonna ees seisvatele väljakutsetele.

Yet when we look beyond the research itself\, that curiosity can meet doubt\, fear of failure or uncertainty about where to begin. You may be exploring the impact your work could create\, or already see the possibilities but feel held back from acting. \nThis workshop gives you space to explore those possibilities through experience\, reflection and practice together with others. \nThe purpose \nIMAGYM trains proactive imagination: imagining a future impact you want to create\, taking ownership of it and making choices and taking action from that future. \nGuided by Yoad Mick\, Founder & Imagination Coach at IMAGYM\, you will explore your research as a means to create that impact. Through this process\, you will begin training your ERL\, Entrepreneurial Resilience Level: your capacity to move through uncertainty\, learn and keep acting towards your chosen direction. \nThe experience \nKnowledge informs\, experience transforms. \nThis is a hands-on workshop with experiential exercises\, individual reflection\, paired exchanges and small-group practice. \n\nMorning: Build a foundation of trust and psychological safety\, explore individual imagination and experience the shift from reactive to proactive imagination through choice and intention.\nAfternoon: Move from individual to collective imagination\, practice imagining together and connect the experience to research\, science communication and knowledge-transfer work.\n\nThis tailored one-day introduction draws on IMAGYM’s three-day training and longer journeys. It is designed to spark curiosity\, open possibilities and help you choose a practical next step. \nWhat you can take from the day \n\nGreater clarity about the impact you want your work to contribute to.\nAwareness of assumptions that influence your choices.\nPractice leaning into curiosity and exploring uncertainty.\nExperience imagining with others and discovering opportunities for collaboration.\nA next step towards an impact you choose.\n\nYour direction remains yours. It may involve further research\, science communication\, collaboration\, innovation or commercialization. \nWho is it for? \nResearchers across disciplines. You do not need a business idea or a clear impact plan. Bring your curiosity and willingness to participate. \nAbout the facilitator \nYoad Mick is the Founder & Imagination Coach at IMAGYM\, training researchers from institutions such as TalTech\, TFTAK and the University of Helsinki\, and working with deep tech accelerators including Beamline\, Baltic Sandbox Ventures and Plug and Play. His experiential training helps participants practice proactive imagination\, strengthen ownership and resilience\, and act towards the impact they want to create. \nExplore IMAGYM: imagym.training \nPractical details \n\nDate: 6 January 2027\nLocation: Tartu\, V-Spa Conference Centre\nTime: 10:00–17:30\, including lunch and breaks.\nLanguage: English.\n\nPlease commit to attending the full day\, as each stage builds on the shared experience. \nThe workshop is intended for researchers working in Estonia.
