Research results 2020
Results of the DRIVE 2020 themes
In 2020, Design United researchers conducted inventory studies for five World Design Embassies, within the social themes of DRIVE. Where do we stand now and what do we already know about these themes? Are you curious about the results? Check out the reports below!
The collaboration with the World Design Embassies was part of the Design Research & Innovation Festival DRIVE 2020. With DRIVE, we, together with Design United, every year look for new knowledge and innovation projects for and with the creative industries. Design United is the collaboration of the design courses of the four Dutch Technical Universities.
Knowledge about societal challenges
What do we already know about, for example, circular & biobased construction, and all materials? Or of letting citizens contribute ideas about healthcare? Who are working on increasing that knowledge, and where we are still missing knowledge? By mapping what science already knows and where the expertise lies, better applications can be developed. And future research can be strengthened and refined. For example by the partners in the Embassies themselves!
