Objective
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.
The first phase (2022-2026) resulted in a infrastructure between 6 research groups, educators, design practitioners, and societal partners. Substantively, it led to a concept framework, a toolbox SCD, trilogy, and articles.
Results
Second phase (2026-2030): embedding the exchange and collective learning in an international Expertisenetwork Systemic Co-design using programme lines and SCD knowledge translate to applicable knowledge products.
Approach
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.
Education impact
ESC has grown into a vibrant network, fully aligning with the SPRONG grant’s aim of building strong collaboration across universities of applied sciences. ESC also leverages and further develops the expertise of creative agencies within the network. A key component is the ESCuela program, which enables structured exchange of knowledge and people among participating institutions.

"Systemic co-design requires engaging all senses to become aware of what is going on, and where there is a movement to design toward."
