Collaborative Circular Innovation: Engaging Users in Co-Design
How can we ensure that circular business models truly meet user needs? On May 22, RISE will host two exciting events focused on co-design and user studies, where we’ll explore creative methods to align circular ambitions with real-world adoption.
Whether you prefer a hands-on workshop in Stockholm (10:00–12:00 CET, optional lunch included 12:00-13:00) or an online seminar (15:00–16:00 CET), you’ll gain practical tools and methods to better understand users and collaborate across businesses to design circular solutions. The events are co-hosted by Business Design, Technologies for Interaction and the Circular Business Lab at RISE, and made possible by the FORMAS project ‘Game-Based Approaches to Create Innovative Circular Value Propositions.’
In-Person Workshop (Stockholm, 10:00–12:00 CET + Optional Lunch 12:00-13:00)
