IMPORTANT:
The topic ideation and evaluation process involves multiple steps. In this resource, we’ll kickstart the process by sharing a large number of research ideas across multiple disciplines. These are intentionally generic and open-ended to help stimulate your thinking. They do not necessarily represent “ready to go”, viable research topics.
To develop a well-defined research topic, you’ll need to identify a clear and convincing research gap and a well-justified plan of action to fill that gap. We unpack this process in our free webinar here.
