Organisation profile

In the Design Research section we use design and design methods to explore the world as is and to push the way we understand and use technology in new directions. It is a fundamentally interdisciplinary section with humanities, social sciences, industrial design, engineering and computer science equally represented. Together we are all invested in how we, through design interventions and explorations, can propose alternative futures for everyday lives with and through technologies. We collaborate with international researchers, industry, the public sector, and community groups. The section consists of three research groups each representing core strength in their way of doing design research.
