Expertise network Systemic Co-Design

Expertise network Systemic Co-Design (ESC) aims to contribute to transition issues in the fields of sustainability, digitization and health from the perspective of systems thinking, design and the collective. ESC does this through practice-based research into ways in which these perspectives can reinforce each other and can be further developed together.

By combining knowledge and expertise, ESC aims to continuously enrich the concept of Systemic Co-Design by developing theory, models and practical tools that can be used by companies, governments, knowledge institutions, interest groups and civic initiatives.

Intended results and impact:

Years 1-4: Concept Framework and Toolbox Systemic Co-Design, SCD is applied in the context of transitions (research).
Years 5-8: (Inter)nationally recognized Expert Network Systemic Co-Design with Framework and Toolbox.

Systemic Co-Design is a network approach. We bring together design and the systemic perspective to address complex societal challenges and accelerate transitions. We facilitate, observe, exchange knowledge and experience and learn from joint generative processes in local knowledge centers, learning environments and labs.

Besides the professional partners, the Expert network Systemic Co-Design consists of a team of professors, (senior) researchers and impact makers supported daily by the programme manager and community manager. Together with partners and students, we work and research social issues in various contexts.
