If you spent your time off in Europe this summer, you might have experienced that issues around climate change are no longer an exception. Mother Nature can be both generous and unforgiving. Were you and your fellow vacationers able to receive online updates on the latest developments? Did you have access to the right resources to stay safe and healthy, and travel back home together?

Luckily, most of us has had a great vacation and made new memories. You and future generations deserve this in the future as well, so let’s collaborate!

Last Friday, the exhibitions of the students following the course on ‘Socio-Technical Futures’ at the UT took place. During this course, organized by Corelia Baibarac-Duignan, students explored potential socio-technical futures originating from addressing water and waste related challenges on campus. During this exhibition, 16 groups expressed how different sustainability futures could look like on campus, depending on our interventions in the present.
 
Corelia Baibarac-Duignan and DesignLab’s researcher Julieta Matos-Castaño have gained insights during the methods used in this course that will help them to further develop a DIY scenario-making tool, part of their DesignLan seed-fund project. During last months, the BMS Lab has supported Corelia and Julieta in developing a back-end for the tool, and now, they will be working on the front-end, with the collaboration of Creative Coding Utrecht.
