Call for Nordic design schools

OPEN UNTIL 10TH OF MARCH 2021. We are looking for a couple of Nordic design schools who can help us to illustrate how the future of healthcare and social care will look like by 2030 and beyond.

A 2030 visualisation of the healthcare and social care system in the Nordics

We believe that we with design schools and their students can get a fresh perspective on how a future integrated healthcare and social care system can be formed by applying design principles, centred around user perspective. We imagine that design schools take into account agenda 2030 goals and materialise the goals into visions for future integrated healthcare and social care.

We also believe that collaborating with design schools will help to promote the opportunities for design students to consider developing healthcare and social care sectors for the citizens as both sectors need to become more attractive, more viable and sustainable service providers for the future.

The work by the design schools are expected to be used, for the first time, at World Expo in Dubai.

We hope that this will attract attention at your school and among your students, read more in attached annex “VOPD call for design schools – 2021”
