The entire conference day will take place at the creative space of the University of Twente DesignLab (you can find the location of the DesignLab on Google Maps here). You can also find a map of the University campus here. The DesignLab is an eco-system facilitating creative collaboration and knowledge transfer between researchers, societal organisations, students, and citizens. The DesignLab values plural perspectives and expertise from individuals as well as organisations – nurturing collaborative projects that transcend disciplinary and professional domains. The DesignLab spaces are designed to trigger innovative thinking, stimulate collaboration, have fun, embrace multiple perspectives and make futures tangible. The multi-purpose rooms are utilised for education, research, (business) projects, and the ever-so-necessary brain relaxation. You can find more information regarding the DesignLab here. Please note that due to construction, the entrance of the DesignLab located at the central O&O square of the University campus is temporarily out of order. You can enter the DesignLab building through the entrance located next to parking place P4 (on the right side of the DesignLab, see also the map of the campus)
