Our team spans competences from design education on all levels to engineering, expertise on technology and sustainability, craft specialists and artists within theatre, artistic methods and contemporary sci-art, as well as perspectives on technology from anthropology and history.
We also work with stakeholders and communities as an established practice within research and education. Our definition of the transdisciplinary includes contributions and knowledge from outside of academia and mirrors this commitment to practical, solution-based and cross-disciplinary collaboration.
