Matchmaking Programme Power of Design and Transitions
Working on change and interested in design-driven research? During the matchmaking event for the Programme Power of Design and Transitions, you’ll meet potential partners for a collaborative research project.
Are you working on societal change and want to take part in the second call of the Power of Design and Transitions programme? Join CLICKNL on Monday 30 June at the matchmaking event in the Jaarbeurs, Utrecht. It’s the perfect moment to find partners, refine ideas and take real steps towards tackling your design challenge.
For this second edition, CLICKNL is looking for project ideas that place knowledge questions from design practice at their core — developed through collaboration between creative professionals, knowledge institutions, and societal or private partners. The projects aim to create interventions for concrete challenges while generating knowledge that helps improve how we design for change.
Who is the matchmaking for?
Creative professionals with a design challenge and researchers interested in collaborating. Whether you're an architect, professor, artist, digital designer, social designer, behavioural scientist or product designer — your ideas, experience and perspective are valuable contributions.
Want to submit a design challenge?
