The Societal Impact of Applied Design Research

The Societal Impact of Applied Design Research

How can applied design research be deployed to enhance systemic change and contribute to societal transitions towards, for example, the circular economy, smarter healthcare or a sustainable food system? This is the subject that will be discussed by partners linked to the Network Applied Design Research. The workshop will consist of a combination of presentations and collaborative discussions based on conceptual papers that will be provided in advance to participants of the event.

The event is organised by Network Applied Design Research (NADR), the Dutch National platform for experts focused on Applied Design Research. Unifying theme is the methodological approach of combining design and research, in any possible variation. NADR researchers deploy applied design research to tackle issues in healthcare, architecture, energy, food and agriculture, retail, hospitality, and fashion. Unique about NADR is that researchers with very different application areas collaborate, allowing them to integrate knowledge and insights from different sectors.
