The Future of Humanitarian Design (HUD) explores how emerging technologies, processes of aesthetic design, and engineering insights can be combined with knowledge from international relations to tackle the crisis facing humanitarianism. The goal is to 1) explore how we might better integrate ‘high theoretical’ and ‘critical’ social scientific concepts and theories into the world of practice (humanitarian and beyond), 2) to see how social science can be more closely ‘bridged’ with engineering, architectural, and design practice and knowledge, and 3) take up the urgent task - especially in the light of recent geopolitical events - of working collaboratively across the sciences to improve the conditions of some of the most vulnerable populations in the world. To achieve this, HUD is a collaboration between the Geneva Graduate Institute, the University of Copenhagen, the Art and Design School in Geneva, and the EssentialTech Lab at EPFL Lausanne. It partners with organizations including Médecins sans frontières (doctors without borders), Terre des hommes, and the International Committee of the Red Cross, and research institutions in Colombia and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
