The Design for Government 2025 Final Show showcases inspiring examples of proactive and ‘designerly’ approaches to policy-making and public service provision. The event saw 4 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 two student groups addressing each brief.
This year, the multidisciplinary student groups showcased the work on extremely topical challenges dealing with Open Government and exploring ways to use the platform ‘Kanta’ to encourage continuity of knowledge. Our project partners include the Ministry of Finance, Kela, and Ministry of Socials Affairs and Health.
A summary of the 2025 Project Briefs can be found here. Below we have posted documentation of the DfG’25 projects. Documentation includes videos of the presentations and Q&A session, presentation slides, each team’s final report, and pictures of the Final Show.
To learn more about what went on behind the scenes, check out the blog posts written by students from each project group.
