Current Research Activities

From June 2019: Finalizing last Paper on applying Experience Design in the automotive context.

Future Research Activities

– Meta-Paper on Finding practices to support the designing for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) taking positive design into account.
– Several small Papers (work in progress, Workshop Paper, etc) Case Studies to apply the findings of the meta paper
– Building a toolkit to test how to misuse systems for evil (to ensure positive impact)
– Toolkits / Practices to foster positive impact while designing for specific contexts.
