Design United's TRANSITIONS @ Dutch Design Week
There certainly is a need for academic debate on design research at Dutch Design Week as was proven by the full occupation of Design United's Design Research Programme at Microlab, during the Dutch Design Week in EIndhoven. The research themes: More than Human Design, Futuring, Politics of Design, Etanglements of Design and Neo Craftsmanships were addressed via inspiring 4TU projects in debates, workshops, and outside experiences. The organising team of dedicated design researchers managed to immerse a large design community into a deepening and interactive journey, exploring the consequences for design research.

Design Research Themes for Dutch Design Week are set!
Thanks to the joint effort of our Design United researchers, we have come up with a beautiful and relevant set of 5 contemporary themes to ignite this year's debate around academic design research. These themes will be used for our participation in the Dutch Design Week and will be illustrated with design research projects at our Design Research Programme and EXPO, during the Dutch Design Week.
