Design Inside showcases cutting-edge research and projects

Aalto University is one of the main content partners for Helsinki Design Week with the aim to widen the understanding of design. With the Designs For a Cooler Planet event the university can show in practice how collaboration between designers, researchers and stakeholders can lead to better solutions for society and the environment.

‘Especially in these days it is important to find ways to share and showcase with real samples of what type of research is done in the university’, emphasizes Enni Äijälä. 

U-Create pedagogy is Design Inside's and UWAS's event of teaching design and art across disciplines
