We are super excited to present our programme for the Dutch Design Week 2024! Under the theme “Changing Gears”, we present the latest design research from the 4TU (TU Delft, TU Eindhoven, Twente University and Wageningen University & Research).  Visit us at our interactive exhibition in the Klokgebouw to experience the latest topics in Design Research and join our Design Research Dialogues in the Natlab to discuss new developments in the field.

Changing Gears

The theme for this year, Changing Gears, is about how design can drive the pace of change.  Societal challenges like climate change require a speedy response, while others require slowing down. Designer researchers at the 4TU are setting the change in motion. What gear are you in?

We will highlight this theme in an exhibition, where you can interact with 14 top design research projects, and a Design Research Programma: 

4TU.Design United Expo: 19 - 27 October Klokgebouw

4TU.Design United Dialogues: 21 - 25 October Natlab

We present our Dialogues within the Mission Days of Dutch Design Week in a new partnership with the Dutch Design Foundation. We invite participants to join our five consecutive thematic morning programmes in the Natlab, to discuss, test, play and experience the latest design research at the 4TU.
