Design for Values: capacity building and interdisciplinary exchanges

On 5 March the Delft Design for Values Institute (DDfV) will organize an impact day for all its members (from the faculties of IO, BK, EWI, CITG and TBM). Recently the DDfV has established various Special Interest Groups (SIGs) on topics like strategic autonomy, design justice, education and the AI Act, as well as a number of seeds projects (for an overview, see this page). During the impact day, we will inform members about these activities, look for synergies between activities to increases chances of societal impact, as well as prepare for an externally focused event to connect insights developed within DDfV to practice*. The event will contribute to collaboration and synergies between different faculties in the area of design for values, and so help to strengthen the internal ecosystem as well as the possibilities to reach out to relevant external stakeholders. You are cordially invited to participate!

Objectives

  • The DDfV community gets informed about SIGs and projects.

  • Connections and synergies across projects/ SIGs/ individuals are identified and exchanges are initiated. Further applications in which methods and approaches can be of value are identified. We look for synergies in research questions, methods, approaches, tools, expertise, concepts and theories.

What are we going to do?

  • Seek synergies and collaborations in speed dating sessions

  • Join forces in developing a DfV toolbox

Please register via the form below and include your slides in this slide deck before 28 February. We need your input in the slide deck before the deadline so we can use your input when preparing the event!

We are looking forward to seeing how we can help each other advancing our work and projects!

Questions? Please reach out to the organizing committee: Marina Bos-de Vos, Helma Dokkum, Monica Natanael

*During the DfV research & Impact day in June we will interact with policymakers and professionals working on (policy for) spatial planning, housing, the built environment, mental health, open strategic autonomy and digital technologies. We will explore how we can collaboratively advance policy and design practices and how the project outputs and outcomes could contribute to the policy agendas around these themes.
