Designing to Innovate: Simplicity, Reliability and Complex Systems
Abstract
Design is a fundamental intellectual activity that transforms a need into an innovative solution, under constraints and functional requirements. It has enabled the major advances of modern civilization and remains decisive in the face of the challenges of the 21st century: global warming, sustainability, peace, energy transition, mobility, and the digital divide.
To meet these challenges, design must become a genuine design science whose innovations aim at simplicity and reliability. But it must also evolve: move from individual products to large-scale complex systems, integrate multiple disciplines, and take into account a diversity of stakeholders and requirements, whether flexible or rigid.
The conference will propose a framework to bring science and industrial practice closer together and to make design a major lever for responsible innovation.
