From being an ideal, it has become imperative to act responsibly in all matters in society. The term ‘responsible design’ has been described as design that ‘responds to the needs of and challenges faced by the society’ (Eggink et al. 2020). Currently, in the sense of urgency, there is an overwhelming set of initiatives, challenges and re-orientations of previous approaches being both arbitrarily and systematically tried out, including but not limited to sustainability, gender issues, ethnic rights, inclusivity, economic marginalisation, reconnecting man and nature, peace movements, CSR and business ethics, climate crisis responses and food and energy scarcity (Cooper, 2005). Despite this overwhelmingly diverse set of initiatives scattered across institutions, we lack a clear conceptual understanding of what ‘responsible design’ is, its implications and how it may be practised.
The ResQ-Design research network will bring together a diverse set of design researchers from across disciplines and institutions in Denmark for the first time to explore and question a) what responsible design is; b) what drives the responsible design agendas; and what are the broad implications of responsible design for, c) design processes and practices, d) designed solutions, e) design institutions, and f) design educations. This new exploratory research network will include a set of research workshops, exchanges, conference participation, and large-scale grant application writing, which, combined, target the exchange of current ideas, projects and agendas across the network, to establish new research constellations, foster new original ideas and approaches, leading to newly established joint research funding ventures.
The network gathers all DK research based design educations and will facilitate connections to also vocational programs within design.Description

The aim of the project is to research the evolution of the concept of agility. Started mainly as project management methodology, in particular in IT development projects, the concept has experienced a strong push in recent years into other areas even beyond business like for example politics. During this process the concept and particular its use and related practices have experienced a significant broadening. Addressing this, the project firstly aims at identifying and analysing the different roots of the agile concept and its methods/practices and tools, which existed even before its emergence in IT development during the 1990s. Secondly, the subsequent development of the key concept as well as their practices and tools should be explored. In particular it is of interest how the different methodologies became of importance in project management and how they related to each other. This also include its interrelations and interdependencies with other trends such as f. e. digitalization. Finally, it should be analysed how the concept emerged from the IT domain again and entered other areas of application in business as well as in society. The overall aim is to generate insights into the conceptualisation of agility, the practices of it including methodologies and tools as well how it relates to other contemporary develepmonts.Description

We propose that the concept "sonic citizenship" is a fruitful framework for the multitude of ways in which we form the aural backgrounds to each other in the rhythms of our daily lives, where citizenship is practiced, negotiated, and maintained through our everyday sonic activities.
Sonic citizenship opens a discussion on how we aurally take part in, and attune to, our community and who in the community has the privilege to raise their voice (to talk and make sound), a right to be heard (listened to), and how we conform to each other through attunement and regulation, thereby assuming the role of citizens. Sonic citizenship, as a concept, extends across various levels of the collective. It encompasses the micro-social intricacies of attunement – everyday, often unnoticed, habits of sonic interaction that shape our connections with those in our immediate vicinity. On a meso-level, it encompasses public negotiations within shared sonic spaces within a city. At macro-social levels, sonic citizenship pertains to the imagined communities of nations. It also involves our relation to the other 'companion species' we inhabit the earth with and depend on, and whose voices are threatened due to the global biodiversity and climate crisis. Description
