Design
Science fundamentally contributes to social progress, shaping futures, and increasingly also to a more sustainable inhabitation of our planet. The common challenges we face are interlocked, multidimensional and multifaceted. They call for transdisciplinary approaches since the areas of discovery are to be expected in between the established disciplines. The quest for new knowledge and insight requires curiosity, courage, and perseverance to explore and go beyond existing boundaries. A At this point, imagination unites the sciences with the arts, including design—the activity of shaping the material and the immaterial world—as an intertwined practice.
In-depth understanding of the phenomena of which we are surrounded by enables us to anticipate and shape our futures in an informed and creative manner. While combining the imaginary with realisation, we practice a holistic approach to science and the creation of knowledge. We understand science in the heart of society: what we do is for everybody, for the common good.
