co-shape the futures you want to live in!
Climate change, energy transition, aging population, and the impact of AI on our work and lives offer just a glimpse into the important and complex challenges we face as a society. Science and technology present exciting opportunities, yet solutions that work today may bring new challenges in the long term. What’s more, what succeeds in one context may fail in another.
In this time of transition, making strategic decisions that contribute to positive changes in the world around us is essential.
This requires a transformative approach where people from various disciplines and with different backgrounds, life experiences, and expertise work together. This effort is also known as transdisciplinary collaboration.
At DesignLab University of Twente we bring together scientists, professionals from business, artists, policymakers, citizens, designers and innovators to explore possible futures together. We engage in projects that inspire us to take action and envision desirable futures, each contributing from their unique perspective and expertise, to contribute to our society today and for future generations. Would you like to join us in making a difference?
