Trend Research & Concept Creation bachelor students are both researching and shaping the future, challenging and redefining existing norms of society. Their graduate projects offer inspiration to explore what our future might behold and understand the changes happening in the time we are living in.
Understanding changes in society
The study program Trend Research & Concept Creation is on the crossing line of design, creativity and futures research. During the Dutch Design Week our graduates want to show what possible futures can look like, explain visitors how to understand the needs of the now in the changing world of tomorrow.
