About
We would be pleased to contribute to consortia addressing these calls, particularly through our academic expertise in design, design education, participatory processes, and sustainability. Our research has addressed these themes from multiple perspectives, including inclusive co-creation, community engagement, user-centred approaches, and material-driven design. We also have experience in sustainable and circular design, with projects using recycled textile and plastic waste. With this background, we believe we can make a strong contribution to proposals that seek to support inclusive, climate-responsive, and socially meaningful neighbourhood transitions in line with NEB values.
