On 5 March 2026, the Delft Design for Values Institute (DDfV) will organize an research day for all its members (from the faculties of IO, BK, EWI, CITG and TBM).
Recently, the DDfV has established several Special Interest Groups (SIGs) on topics such as open strategic autonomy, design justice, education, and the AI Act, as well as a number of seed projects (for an overview, see this page). During the Research Day, members will be informed about these activities and projects, explore potential synergies, and prepare for an externally focused Research & Impact Day to connect insights developed within DDfV to practice*.
The event will contribute to collaboration and synergies between different faculties in the area of design for values, and so help to strengthen the internal ecosystem as well as the possibilities to reach out to relevant external stakeholders. You are cordially invited to participate!
The Research Day aims to:
09:00 – 09:30 Welcome
09:30 – 10:00 Opening
10:00 – 11:00 Introductions of SIGs, projects, and researchers (2-minute presentations)
11:00 – 12:30 Brainstorm on collaborations, increasing impact, and matchmaking
12:30 – 13:30 Lunch
Please register via the registration form and upload your slides to the shared slide deck before 28 February. We look forward to exploring how we can support each other in advancing our work and projects.

*During the DfV research & Impact day in June we will interact with policymakers and professionals working on (policy for) spatial planning, housing, the built environment, mental health, open strategic autonomy and digital technologies. We will explore how we can collaboratively advance policy and design practices and how the project outputs and outcomes could contribute to the policy agendas around these themes.
