Recap DRIVE 2018

The Design Research & Innovation Festival (DRIVE) 2018 in a nutshell: two days packed with inspirational encounters and knowledge sharing between creative professionals and enterprising scientists. With state-of-the-art research and outstanding projects about solutions for societal challenges that will give you a glimpse of the possible future.

This year societal challenges, as defined in our Knowledge & Innovation Agenda, were at the heart of DRIVE. What happens within research in the creative industry, when we look at the inclusive society, the circular economy and health and wellbeing, for example?

On Wednesday, it was all about Healthy Behaviour, Resilience in Society, Human Empowerment and Personal Experience. Visitors listened to some wonderful talks on eHealth or designing with future technologies, or participated in workshops concerning design thinking and big data.

On Thursday, all eyes were on the Circular Society and Energy & Behaviour. Think about circular design for buildings and the history and future of sustainable design, the future of living materials and showcases of smart energy solutions.
