This subject is offered as a morning, one day or two day seminar, or as a week course.

Completion of this course will give you access to the professional scientific thinking forum and user group of Van Thinking, where we continue to explore and learn together about this subject as we discuss real life situations and do focused reading for online discussion.

The main strenght of Scientific Thinking is to sharpen you skill in knowledge generation.

The course forms the backbone of building a strong online network, based on similar interest, with a focus on ongoing learning and interaction. In this way the week course is an introduction into an online community in scientific thinking, where resources and other information is made available online to members.
