Our Focus

DesignLab establishes new connections: students and researchers join forces with citizens, governments and the industry, to design opportunities for challenges within and beyond the borders of health, climate and safety. When working with and at DesignLab, different worldviews are equally heard, people become empowered and first tangible steps are made. Dear Future us: let’s feel, think and act when it comes to today’s challenges and potentially those of our next generations. Let’s co-shape the futures we want to live in!

At DesignLab we look beyond disciplines and join forces to tackle real-world problems. DesignLab is a place where brainpower and creativity meet. We develop and facilitate research-driven projects, education and events. And we have a lot of fun in the meantime. Through design thinking and our extensive network, we want to get to the bottom of societal challenges. Our goal is to empower people and make them aware of the impact they can create. After all, it's not just about having great ideas. It's about making them happen too. Let's face this challenge together.
