Events

D2N+ will follow a challenge-based approach that uses the solving of challenge case studies to bring together a digital design community.

The core activities include:

Challenge Case Studies will have cross sectoral relevance and be co-created with RTO and end users. They will reflect the challenges faced by UK industry in designing the next generation of complex sustainable products. D2N+ will adopt a systems-level approach for designing the case studies, considering the requirements of all interdisciplinary stakeholders, including determining system requirements, creating a concept design, refining and optimizing, and verifying and validating it for its purpose.

The case studies in turn will last 4, 6 and 8 months.

Two leads will be selected for each case study who will be instrumental in preparing, drafting, supporting and reporting on the case studies.

Workshops will bring the D2N+ community together. 

Workshop 1 will be a one-day event introducing the network, its mission and launch case study 1. 

Workshops 2-4 will be two-day events showcasing, comparing and evaluating solutions (by an assembled transdisciplinary team), capturing outputs and feedback, and announcing the next case study.
