Design United aims to connect researchers from the four technical universities, collaborate in research with industry and ignite Design Research Debate in the Netherlands.

During the morning, our Wageningen colleagues will share their narrative in change-making through design and walk us along the highlights of the WUR campus. The focus of the afternoon program is all about you and the rest of the DU community sharing perspectives on teaching design for responsible change through an interactive session. We will close the day with drinks and a moment to connect with your Design United peers.
