The NODUS Sustainable Design Research Group is based at Aalto University School of Arts, Design and Architecture in Helsinki, Finland. The group focuses on sustainable design in transdisciplinary settings, conducting research on eco-design, design for a bioeconomy, and sustainable design education. Current projects examine support systems for sustainable entrepreneurship and transformation, design-driven value chains for cellulose, and futures for digital textile printing.

!"#$%&'%()* +*#&,' -*#*%./0 What is NODUS? The NODUS Sustainable Design Research Group is based in Aalto University School of Arts, Design and Architecture, Helsinki, Finland. We aim to create robust research-based design knowledge re鍖ecting values appropriate for a more sustainable society.
!"#$%&'%()* +*#&,' -*#*%./0 What do we do? We focus on *sustainable* *design* (SD, DfS) in transdisciplinary settings, as an open, accessible & engaging node. This means eco-design and the design of meanings of materials, products and systems. Design in and for a bio-economy. Design in peer production. Sustainable Design education. And design for societal impact.
