Eco-Social Innovation by Design - Exploring Potential Contributions to Sustainability Transitions in an International PhD and a Master´s Degree Progamme

Contributions from the design disciplines toward sustainable development (UN, 2005) often aim to use less harmful materials, adopt more efficient processes, improve construction principles, or align individual behavior. However, designers also contribute to sustainable development by shaping the framework conditions for social innovation practices (Manzini, 2005), navigating between academic disciplines, professional methods, and cultural conventions in all four orders of design (Buchanan, 2001): From graphics and products to interactions and systems. These interventions might be cocreated visions for desirable futures, policymaking and regulation, goods and services, community activism or grassroots innovations, to educational experiences.
