Would you like to make use of our expertise? We seek to share our knowledge with social partners and the wider audience in many ways. We contribute to analysing and solving issues in the following areas:
Fashion
The fashion industry is where design and entrepreneurship intersect. But also the growing awareness of working conditions and material choice in the production process cause for creative innovation in the fashion industry.
