ADA gör: Design, sustainability and future circular business models?

--- FULLSATT/FULLY BOOKED --- It is urgent to change both industrial and consumer behaviour if we want to achieve sustainable goals. Cars, fashion and interiors all belong to industries whose business models are built on constant desires for new products – and new designs. Can design reverse the linear business model and contribute to more longevity and circular business models? This will be discussed in depth during the day with both talks and a panel debate with practitioners and researchers from these industries.

In collaboration with Business & Design Lab we are happy to invite you to a half day seminar about this most important topic on Monday 7th of May 14:30-17:30!

Speakers:Thomas Nyström - industrial designer and PhD student at Academy of Design and Crafts, University of Gothenburg and Research Institutes of Sweden (Rise Viktoria). Thomas research is focusing on how product design can support the transportation industry, including car companies, to develop circular business models to meet the challenges these industry face when reducing its negative impact on the climate. The significant of the research is to understand the logic of the industry and its capability to change.

Anna Lidström - fashion designer and PhD student at Swedish School of Textiles, University of Borås. She is working with artistic research within the field of sustainable fashion, with the focus on exploring and developing alternative design strategies and methods that can meet the challenges of volatile quality of recycled raw materials in a cyclic system. With a strong focus on experimental design research the significance of the research is to investigate the potential of and develop models for resilient design strategies and methods that tackle the challenges in a cyclic system based on re-cycling.

Maria Nyström Reuterswärd - professor, HDK and Chalmers, is doing research in South East Asia, Kenya and Tanzania. Since 2012 she leads the research cooperation with the local universities JOOUST and Maseno in Kisumu, Kenya as part of Mistra Urban Futures research platforms. Several projects have focused on developing Kisumu to a sustainable city with healthy marketplaces, craft projects and destination for tourism (in collaboration with the School of Business, Economics and Law).

PS. Detta blir andra gången gillt med detta ämne, då vi fick ställa in förra gångens försök före jul pga sjukdom. Vi har nu istället maxat programmet till att bli minst dubbelt så matigt! DS.
