Summer & Winter School

We offer lectures, seminars, and workshops. Innovative training formats foster exchange and integration of results, approaches, and experiences among universities, industry, government, and civil society—and our prototeams' reflexive practice.

Design for entangled interactions

Our third summer school offers keynotes, workshops, and training activities that revise and extend user-centered and human-centered design to account for human entanglement with systems that learn, predict, and evolve across decentralised networks. The program includes a symposium and several networking opportunities during which to gain insights into the work-in-progress work of the DCODE Prototeams. The school took place in real life at the Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands at the Faculty of Industrial Design Engineering.
