SUMMARY:Design for Digital Autonomy - DDfV impact day
DESCRIPTION:Recent geopolitical developments show that the Netherlands is vulnerable when it comes to its dependence on digital infrastructure and services from other countries and large technology companies. This is also reflected in TU Delft’s position paper on Open Strategic Autonomy. It has led to an increasing call for digital autonomy\, in politics\, in advisory reports and in scientific research. But what exactly do we mean by digital autonomy? And what can organizations\, such as municipalities\, universities and companies\, do to advance digital autonomy?\n\nThe event focuses on the question of how we can foster digital autonomy and what choices this entails. What is needed to foster and operationalize digital autonomy? Which policies effectively contributes to this? What knowledge is needed? Digital autonomy is a broad theme for organizations and to act effectively\, cooperation\, effective policy and clear (design) guidelines are crucial.\n\nDuring this event\, we strive for cross-pollination between policy\, practice and science\, and between different domains (municipalities\, implementing organisations\, universities). We investigate where the shared challenges (cross-sectoral) and obstacles lie\, what central values play a role in the design of digital technology in combination with digital autonomy\, where value tensions occur and how we can put digital autonomy into practice.\n\n\n\nMore information & Registration

SUMMARY:EdSIG DDfV session | Teaching Values with Q-Sorting
DESCRIPTION:Teaching Values with Q-Sorting\nby Maurits Ertsen \nWe warmly invite the education community to join our upcoming session about Q-Sorting. \nThis session is part of a series of meetings in which educators share\, discuss\, and learn from each other’s practices on Design for Values across the university. The series is organised by the Special Interest Group on Education of the Delft Design for Values Institute in collaboration with the Teaching Academy. \n\nIn this session\nCompared to traditional list-based surveys\, Q-Sorting is typically seen as more suited to show diversity of ideas. Maurits has used Q-Sorting quite extensively in courses and projects in BSc and MSc programmes. \nThe workshop will focus on two aspects. \nFirst\, a recent Q-Sort shows the ideas of students at CEG and outsiders about what engineering should focus on in the next ten years. These ideas are diverse and thus allow discussion on how goals and values are determined in the first place. \nSecond\, using Q-Sorting in class – for example by defining a research setup together with students – allows engagement with questions of data\, claims\, and ideas in both research itself and the topic of the survey\, whether this concerns where to go on holiday or which study activities are preferred. \n\nTimeline\n09:45 Walk-in & coffee10:00 Start of session11:30 End of session \n\nLocation\nTU Delft Teaching Lab\, Arena \n\nTarget audience\nEducators and Education Support Staff \n\nRegistration\nPlease register here. \n\nFuture sessions\nIf you have teaching activities you would like to discuss or explore in future sessions – whether past\, ongoing\, or still just ideas – please write to:edSIG-ddfv@tudelft.nl \nWe are currently preparing an interesting schedule for future sessions\, and contributions are very welcome. \nFind more on this event on this website.

SUMMARY:Closing Event: Design for Values and Critical Raw Materials: Decolonial Justice Perspectives
DESCRIPTION:What ethical challenges emerge from the growing demand for critical raw materials\, and how can Design for Values contribute to addressing their social and environmental impacts? How can perspectives that are often marginalized in discussions of technological innovation\, climate change\, and resource governance be meaningfully integrated into design processes? \nThese questions have guided the Delft Design for Values Seed Project Design for Values and Critical Raw Materials: Decolonial Justice Perspectives. The project explored the ethical\, political\, and epistemic dimensions of critical raw materials\, examining how resource extraction and supply chains are intertwined with broader questions of global justice\, colonial legacies\, and climate transitions. \nDrawing on decolonial justice perspectives\, the project investigated how dominant development paradigms can reproduce unequal power relations and forms of green colonialism. The project sought to expand Design for Values by engaging with questions of global justice\, value pluralism\, Indigenous knowledge\, and alternative understandings of human–nature relationships on methodological\, conceptual\, and social engagement levels. Methodologically\, the project combined collaborative engagement with Indigenous and artistic partners with emerging approaches such as LLM-assisted text analysis to examine narratives surrounding critical raw materials and climate transitions. Conceptually\, the project explored the intersections between Design for Values\, decoloniality\, extractivism\, and global justice. Socially\, it fostered new co-creative engagements among researchers\, Indigenous organizations\, artists\, students\, and civil society actors\, creating a foundation for future research and allyship initiatives. \nAn important objective of the project was to build bridges with partners whose voices are often underrepresented in discussions of technology and energy transitions. Through these efforts\, the project established partnerships with Indigenous organization MABIKAs Foundation\, laying the groundwork for the NWO-funded Indigenous Liberation Month × Just Transitions initiative within the Klimaatonderzoek Initiatief Nederland (KIN) network. Bringing together Indigenous leaders\, researchers\, engineers\, artists\, students\, and civil society organizations\, this initiative resulted in a range of public engagement activities\, including the co-created documentary Re-rooting: Indigenous Perspectives on Just Transitions. \nThe project also fostered co-creative engagement with the Ecuadorian arts collective SolipsisArt\, whose work covers themes of territory\, extractivism\, memory\, and social justice. These exchanges informed the development of the VSD Envisioning Cards: Global Extension Set\, an extension of the Value Sensitive Design toolkit that introduces themes such as extractivism\, colonial histories\, power and privilege\, positionally\, global inequalities\, and plural knowledge systems. \nThe closing event presents these interconnected project outcomes through a combination of presentations\, documentary screening\, and interactive engagement. Participants will have the opportunity to reflect on the project’s findings\, explore new tools for Design for Values practice\, and discuss future directions for integrating decolonial justice perspectives into engineering\, design\, and climate transitons research. \nProgramme \n12:00–12:30 – Welcome and lunch \n12:30–12:50 – Introduction and project reflections \n12:50–13:30 – Presentation: \nExploring Biases in the Western Development Paradigm: Traces of Green Colonialism in Engineering and Policy Discourse \n13:30–13:45 – Break \n13:45–15:15 – Documentary Screening: \nRe-rooting: Indigenous Perspectives on Just Transitions \n15:15–15:30 – Break \n15:30–17:00 – Interactive Workshop: \nVSD Envisioning Cards: The Global Extension Set \n17:00–17:30 – Final discussion and closing reflections \n  \nRegistration \nPlease register via this link. \nIf you have any questions about the event\, please contact the project lead: \nAnna Melnyk \nWe warmly welcome researchers\, students\, practitioners\, and anyone interested in Design for Values\, climate transitions\, environmental justice\, and decolonial approaches to technology and design. \nWe look forward to reflecting together on the project’s outcomes and future directions for Design for Values research and practice. \nWith gratitude to Verónica Alvear (@vero_tifa)\, @SolipsisArt\, for the artwork featured in this event communication.

SUMMARY:Workshop: Let’s (Re-)Imagine Designing for the Value of Dignity
DESCRIPTION:About the workshop:\nDignity is a fundamental human value\, described in design literature as the principle that ultimately grounds and justifies our actions. Yet there is no shared understanding of what dignity means in practice\, making its translation into concrete design decisions difficult and contested. \nThis lack of conceptual clarity is precisely why the Special Interest Group – Design for Dignity (SIG-D4D) was established. We see dignity as a dynamic\, context-dependent\, and underexplored value that requires collective reflection and experimentation. \nThat is why\, in this first workshop\, we invite you to join us in exploring how dignity can be understood and applied within and beyond design contexts. Through reflection\, discussion\, and exchange\, we aim to connect diverse perspectives and begin shaping a shared foundation for future work. \n\nDuring the workshop\, participants will:\n\nReflect on their own understanding and interpretation of dignity\nExplore how dignity is expressed across languages\, contexts\, and experiences\nExplore dignity and designing for it in one of the following cases:\n\nDignity in education\nDignity in public transport services\nDignity in migration\n\n\nIdentify and discuss other application fields where dignity is at stake\nExchange perspectives across disciplines to surface shared challenges and opportunities\nContribute to identifying areas of interest for future collaboration within SIG-D4D\n\n  \nWorkshop Details:\nAudience: Researchers interested in or curious about considering dignity as a value in their design practice. \nDate: Wednesday 7th of October 2026. \nTime: 9h30 – 12:30 including Lunch time.
