On behalf of 4TU Design United, we invite all PhD candidates, their advisors, and design research enthusiasts across the four technical universities of Delft, Eindhoven, Twente and Wageningen, to meet our 4TU colleagues and discuss the latest themes in design research.
The day kicks off with a keynote address by Johan Redström, Professor in Design at Umeå Institute of Design. In the afternoon, we’ll dive into a variety of topics through engaging break-out sessions. These may include themes such as artistic research practices in design, politics in co-design processes, new developments in bio-inspired design and AI, speculative design techniques, and application-driven topics such as inclusive mobility systems and planetary health. The event will be held in Utrecht, a few minutes’ walk from Utrecht Central Station.
