The Design for Government 2023 Final Show showcases inspiring examples of proactive and ‘designerly’ approaches to policy-making and public service provision. The event saw 6 talented and multidisciplinary student teams present their research and proposals responding to challenges within the Finnish public sector. This year, students addressed a record of two different project briefs, with three student groups addressing each brief.
This year, the multidisciplinary student groups showcased the work on extremely topical challenges dealing with the digitalisation of public services in Finland and the country’s accessible transportation system. Our project partners include Digital and Population Data Services Agency (DVV), the Ministry of Finance (VM) and the Ministry of Transport and Communications (LVM).
A summary of the 2023 Project Briefs can be found here. Below we have posted documentation of the DfG’23 projects. Documentation includes videos of the presentations and Q&A session, presentation slides, each team’s final report, and pictures of the Final Show.
