We have a fun one for you this time. Recently, our colleague Eric Gu hosted three Delft Design researchers in a conversation on design and AI. Alessandro Bozzon, Maria Luce Lupetti and Kars Alfrink talked about the needs and challenges of designing AI. About the role of the designer in its development and how the design practice itself can change through the relationship with AI.

Last week, fifteen organisations, including IDE (represented by our Design for Sustainability and Circular Product Design sections), celebrated the launch of CIRCONNECT – an online knowledge platform for circular design. The platform will act as a central location where knowledge and experience in the field of circular design is shared and developed together. The website already contains nearly 100 knowledge contributions from the CIRCONNECT partners. The contact person for this project is IDE’s Bas Flipsen.

Dutch Design Week (DDW): it’s one of the highlights of the European design calendar and an event in which IDE design research plays a prominent role together with 4TU.Design United. This year, DDW runs from 22-30 October and as is tradition, you can expect a stellar programme from Design United featuring researchers and projects from IDE and TU Delft. Keep your eyes peeled for the next newsletter, where we'll cover what else you can expect from Dutch Design Week.
