The Design Impact Transition (DIT) platform at Erasmus University Rotterdam (EUR) brings together academics, students, non-academic staff and external stakeholders who are working on addressing complex and persistent societal challenges. We aim to build a strong and engaged community to develop a new collaborative, experimental and design-based culture of transdisciplinarity. This means working beyond and across disciplines, together with stakeholders and extending beyond what might be considered ‘business as usual’.
Building DIT together is an action research experiment in itself: we try to find out the best ways to organise and institutionalise transdisciplinary and engaged academic work for just, sustainable futures. DIT is at the heart of the EUR Strategy, living the Erasmian values of global citizenship, social commitment, an open and critical mindset, cooperation and entrepreneurial spirit.
See what DIT achieved through transformative research, education and engagement over the course of three years in our TIMELINE.
