CoDesign4Transitions - Milan Symposium

Join the CoDesign4Transitions network for an international gathering of researchers and practitioners working at the intersection of sustainable transitions and democratic design.

Hosted by the Department of Design at Politecnico di Milano and organised within the MSCA Doctoral Network CoDesign4Transitions (2024–2028), this symposium brings together researchers, doctoral candidates, practitioners and institutional actors. It offers a space to reflect on how democratic design is practised and researched today, where it takes place, and under what conditions it can meaningfully contribute to just and sustainable futures.

The programme will explore themes such as mission-oriented innovation, experimentation in public and organisational contexts, the visualisation and materialisation of complex issues, and the role of design research in shaping practices, institutions and forms of governance.

Who should attend
• Doctoral researchers in design, sustainable transitions, political science and related fields
• Practitioners working in systemic innovation, sustainability transitions, democratic innovation, policy and design
• Academic researchers in design, sustainable transitions, political science and related fields.

This event is funded by the European Union under Grant Agreement No. 101120074 – CoDesign4Transitions (HORIZON-MSCA-2022-DN-01)
