Would you like to talk about death? What are we having for dinner tonight? What do you know about your neighbour? Seemingly unrelated and random questions, but they have one thing in common: they are all part of a creative process.

Curious how the new generation of designers and problem solvers tackles our societal challenges?

Six teams of students present their creative ideas for current and future challenges on the 31st of January in the Cube design labs: Three international teams from different design disciplines have participated for five months in the Cube in-residence programme. They have worked on the Cube Calls Ageing Society and Re-design Death. Three teams of medical students present their results of an intensive four-weeks course in Creative Problem Solving.

Cube design labs and Maastricht University invite you to join the presentations, get inspired and reflect together on the results!
