There is a gap between the opportunities of emerging technologies and the value for people and society. This gap is bridged by design done at the four Dutch universities of technology.

Twelve frontrunner design research projects that bridge

4TU.Design United presents twelve frontrunner projects that explore, define, or critique the bidirectional bridges and intersection of technology, people, society, and planet.
