International partnerships<\/h1>\n\n\n

Many of the social issues we work on transcend national borders. This is why we actively seek international cooperation. This creates synergy and increases our impact. We ourselves have initiated successful projects within the Erasmus+ Strategic Partnerships program and in recent years have been a design partner and work package leader in more than twenty-five European consortia. Are you working on a project proposal and looking for partners for an EU call? Contact Sven<\/a> to discuss how our expertise can strengthen your project. We are also happy to help think about project design. Incorporating a design approach<\/a> into your proposal is quite challenging, but it is possible! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consortium formation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An impactful project stands or falls with a balanced consortium: make sure that at least researchers, domain experts and participants from your target group(s) are represented. Do you need help with this? We are happy to connect you with experienced partners from our international network.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Work package leader<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We lead work packages on research and fieldwork, such as data collection through co-design sessions or focus groups. We also have extensive expertise in creative development: from concept development and prototyping to graphic and technical realization.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Implementation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What does the target group need in order to be able to use the project result in the long term as well, in their daily work or life? That question cannot be asked early enough. As a partner – in whatever role – we always include implementability as a design framework.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Programs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

8D is consortium partner in (research) projects funded by various European programs. This has developed organically, because our creative solutions and way of working with target groups are closely aligned with the major challenges of our time. Think of the digital transition, the energy transition and strengthening democratic and inclusive communities. Themes where the European Union considers transnational and interdisciplinary cooperation essential – and to which we are happy to contribute!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Design Thinking heritage and adult education<\/strong>.As part of the European GRACING project, 8D was invited as a domain expert to share its expertise in design, gamification, and co-creation. We led a workshop on design thinking and game design, co-authored an open-source curriculum and the best practice addendum, and hosted a study trip in Leeuwarden for fifteen Romanian heritage professionals. .<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

How can design increase inclusivity in the workplace?<\/strong>8D, in partnership with the international consortium Autism: Spectrum of Employment Skills (ASES), has created a game designed to assist managers in making recruitment processes and workplaces more accessible for individuals with autism. This game actively involves players in engaging with a comprehensive curriculum on autism and employment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
