Knowledge & Innovation Agenda CLICKNL

The creative industry bolsters the innovative capacity of the Netherlands, in business as well as in the scientific world. This Top Sector is an important partner in generating answers to societal and economic challenges and implementing these through its creative capacity and methodologies. A strong creative industry as a cross-sectional sector offers the opportunity to reach innovative breakthroughs.

Circular Design - ready to speed up! 
Research Through Design & more, approaches of research in design 

Circular design - ready to speed up!

We need circular design to drive us towards a circular economy.
We’re ready to step on the gas, are you?

In the past 2.5 years, the Circular Design approach has been applied by more than 120 companies as part of the CIRCO program. CIRCO has mapped the challenges they face when developing and implementing circular products, services and business models. These circular drivers are now ready for their next journey. Sharing their solutions and challenges will help them and others forwards: that’s what we do at DRIVE.

Research Through Design & more,  approaches of research in design offers a new perspective on creating knowledge for the creative industry.  A wide range of Design Research projects in the creative disciplines provide unique insights into the nature of design as a research method.
