Plastic packaging of Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCGs) creates a worrying 35 kg of plastic packaging waste per person per year in the EU. Proper waste recycling still falls short in tackling this issue. In this project, you are invited to contribute to the Re2Pack project by creating a reusable packaging concept for soft fruits. In this project, you are asked to focus on the consumer interaction with the system. You are free to come up with whatever design you think fits best.

In this project, we challenge you to find inspiring applications that effectively use the structural qualities of aircraft components. These components are made of specialist materials and feature special layups and stiffening structures such as ribs. The goal is to find applications that preserve the component structure and shape but use them in another application. This assignment is part of the Interdisciplinary thesis lab 2024-2025: GREEN SKIES

Transforming Modular Wheelchair Seating with a Unique Mounting Solution; The Perfect Fit SEC is currently developing a new seating system with advanced positioning possibilities for the orthosis market. This innovative seating system requires a unique mounting solution for manual and powered wheelchairs from the clients portfolio and beyond. The student will begin by understanding the current market solutions and the specific requirements of the ongoing seating system development. They will explore existing solutions and the functionalities of the perspective wheelchairs and ultimately deliver 1-2 creative concept recommendations for a modular mounting solution tailored for adaptability in seating systems Transforming Patients Well-Being with Pressure Relief Seating; The Perfect Fit SEC is developing a new seating system with advanced positioning possibilities for the orthosis market, requiring an innovative cushion solution to provide effective, full-body pressure relief. This cushion must allow for optimal air flow, be durable, and ideally be reusable for long-lasting comfort. The student will begin by researching existing market solutions, human anatomy needs, and specific pressure relief requirements in seating systems. They will ultimately propose one cushion concept with ideal pressure distribution through densities and shape.

The project "Achter afval" (behind waste) aims to investigate the underlying causes of waste nuisance in The Hague. Many current interventions address only the symptoms, making solutions temporary and primarily effective in neighbourhoods with higher levels of social cohesion. Together with the Municipality of The Hague, we want to develop a deeper understanding of the social, cultural, economic and psychological mechanisms that cause these problems. Using co-creation and active participatory research, we gain insight into the underlying causes of littering (such as placing trash next to bins) and develop solutions that respond to these deeper causes.

De zorgsector staat voor aanzienlijke uitdagingen. Met onze zorgassistent Tessa kunnen we zorgmedewerkers ondersteunen en hun cliënten langer zelfstandig thuiswonen. Via de app stelt de zorgmedewerker scripts in om hun cliënt herinneringen te sturen of vragen te stellen. Maar vanwege beperkte tijd en uiteenlopende digitale vaardigheden in de zorg zien we dat het volledige potentieel van Tessa onbenut blijft en dat zorgmedewerkers de waarde van Tessa maar beperkt ervaren.

Hello! Nice to have you here, we know you’re busy, so we’ll keep it short. We are looking for a Strategic Innovation graduation student to join the Advisory team within the Design & Digital Products practice. Here, we create new and reimagine existing products and services. We are part of Accenture’s creative engine called Accenture Song, where we combine creativity, technology, and business insights to create experiences that drive real impact.

An appealing device for serving wine from bag-in-box: attractive, easy to handle, versatile and fitting in our story about sustainable wine drinking.

De uitdaging waar je mee aan de slag gaat, is het vernieuwen van de wijze waarop wij ons personeel werven. Op dit moment doen wij dit nog op klassieke wijze. We stellen een vacaturetekst op en deze wordt geplaatst op onze website: https://werkenbijreinier.nl/ en breed gedeeld via de socials (LinkedIn, Instagram, etc.). De vacatures staan vervolgens enkele weken open, waarna er gespreksrondes plaatsvinden. Deze wijze is totaal niet inspirerend en spreekt een steeds groter wordende groep niet aan. Hoe kunnen we geheel vernieuwend, op een manier die niemand verwacht, geheel out-of-the-box nieuw personeel en talent aanspreken? Niks is te gek, hoe gekker hoe beter! Je wordt uitgedaagd jouw eigen creativiteit hierop los te laten, je te laten inspireren door andere industrieën of geheel nieuwe concepten te ontwikkelen. Met jouw inbreng en creativiteit, maak je échte impact op de zorg van de toekomst in Delft! Ga jij met ons deze uitdaging aan?

In this project, you will visualize the current rheumatology care process, pinpointing bottlenecks and identifying the needs associated with the available capacity of rheumatologists. Your insights will serve as a foundation for designing a service model that promotes the sustainable employability of rheumatologists in healthcare. Can you contribute to this vital endeavor?

In this research project, you will conduct and write a scoping review together with Fredrik Bodell, who researches the implementation of digital health solutions into clinical care. The research process will be to examine existing research on design to see how implementation is viewed. The intention is to publish the research at a design conference.
