Together with organisations and companies outside the University of Twente, students, Research Fellows, DesignLab researchers, the DreamTeam and staff, we've proven that combining disciplines results in impactful solutions. Challenges trigger to develop new but responsible concepts. Sometimes online, sometimes in a hybrid way. And as Citizen Science is growing fast, relevant data is growing too.
As we are counting down the days, here's a nice overview of everything that happened this year, in which DesignLab participated or had a significant role.
Let's look ahead and realise the dreams we've been working on, to make societal impact! DesignLab continues to work on Responsible Design & Citizen Science in a Transdisciplinary way.
If you would like to improve your creative skills using photography, video's, music or podcasts, or if you want to explore new worlds with virtual reality: the DreamTeam welcomes you!
...to connect our knowledge and research community with the rest of the world. Project INCENTIVE will enable other organisations to establish hubs throughout Europe (Kick off Feb. 2021).

Despite these uncertain times, DDW2020 carried on: Live at the studio, with an online magazine and livestreams. UT collaborated with the Dutch tech universities (Design United).
Together with BMSLab and TOPFIT CitizenLab, DesignLab executed and coordinated the usability and ethical tests of CoronaMelder. Citizens in Twente were highly involved.
The UT Challenge offers students to further develop their ideas, prototypes and projects into business plans, products and start ups. This year, DL supported, judged and participated!
In the magazine Futures we selected some of the best stories that show how much impact we can make if we all join forces. Let's connect!
We want to make sure everyone at UT has a holiday season to look back on with a positive feeling. Find out what the UT community has come up with and sign up! Happy Holidays!
On May 15th, the first graduates of DesignLab's transdisciplinary Master-Insert programme 'Shaping Responsible Futures' were put in the well-deserved spotlight virtually.
DesignLab donated one thousand special clips to the Enschede hospital MST, to reduce the physical burden of wearing mouth masks for doctors and nurses.
There is always a way to interact, always a reason to party. To end this year with inspiration and energy, a couple of DesignLab members organised a one-of-a-kind hybrid Zoom party!
Let's take a look back at some highlights, published by local and national news providers in newspapers, on the radio, television and online. Partly in Dutch, partly in English.
