DesignLab celebrates first birthday at ”SPIN2030 Science Festival”
March 27 – 28, 2024 | Fraunhofer IVI presents concepts and potentials of industrial design
Exactly one year after its launch, the ”DesignLab for Applied Research“ – a cooperation between Fraunhofer and TU Dresden – had the opportunity to engage in an interesting dialogue with visitors from society, economy, industry and politics at the ”SPIN2030 Science Festival“. For this event, more than 50 scientific institutions from all over Saxony took over the five-storey building of the Museum of Science and Technology Dresden with the aim of making science tangible. The science festival is a part of the campaign ”SPIN 2030. Science State Saxony“, organized by the Saxon Ministry of Science, with the goal of highlighting the diversity, excellence, and attractiveness of Saxony as a research location.
The project team presented concepts and current developments in tomorrow´s agriculture, mobility and architecture and showed potentials of the integration of industrial designers in research projects.
Especially the vivid presentation of the projects Feldschwarm® and ALBACOPTER® sparked excitement and interest across all age groups and encouraged lively discussions about future solutions in automation on land and under water.
