Systemic, imaginative and invigorating. This is how we, as the Expertisenetwork Systemic Co-design (ESC), tackle the major transition challenges of our time. As a learning network for Systemic Co-Design, we bring together researchers, design professionals, educational professionals and public organisations.

Through ESC, we contribute to the Knowledge and Innovation Agenda for Societal Earning Capacity. The SCD approaches serve as innovative pathways, using key methodologies (KEMs), towards a resilient, inclusive society. Want to know more about how we do this within our programme lines?

More about us

In the ESCollabs, the work of ESC comes to life: practice-based research projects in which designers, researchers and societal partners collaborate on transitions. Discover the projects and the knowledge that emerges from them.

Projects

  • Hoe kunnen we de stad sociaal en veilig maken?
  • Hoe kunnen we de samenleving duurzaam maken?
  • Hoe kunnen we voelbaar maken wat de gevolgen zijn van klimaatverandering?

Through our programme lines, from ESCalators to ESConferences, we put Systemic Co-Design into practice. Curious about what’s on the agenda in the coming months?

Activities

ESC utilises, combines and connects research knowledge with the practical experiences of education and design professionals and the people and organisations with whom they work. Together, we translate this knowledge of Systemic Co-Design into applicable knowledge products that strengthen capacity for action. Discover the knowledge within our network.

Knowledge

We bundle and enrich the knowledge and experience from various research groups and form a rich network of learning communities, knowledge centres and labs. Stakeholders from practice, research and education actively participate.
