Collaborations for Future

In the Netherlands, professionals are stepping up to address societal challenges like sustainability and climate change. While research shows the power of these efforts, outdated systems often limit their potential. The Collaborations for Future program tackles this by fostering partnerships between designers and climate scientists. Over nine months, it created a space for experimentation, breaking free from rigid structures to explore new ways of working. The result? A blueprint for change, proving collaboration can drive real impact.

So, what makes interdisciplinary partnerships work? Collaborations for Future: The Blueprints dives into this question, offering a practical guide for designing impactful collaborations. Drawing from nine months of insights, it highlights how creative and scientific expertise can align to tackle climate challenges. Packed with real-world methodologies, it reveals what conditions foster success and why open-ended collaboration sparks innovation. Whether you're starting fresh or rethinking old approaches, this guide is your roadmap for meaningful change.
