Date du début: 1 oct. 2011,

The DEVICE-DEsing for Vulnerable generatIons: Children and Elderly project aspires to bridge traditional industrial design programs with ergonomics, usability concepts and user experience approaches with a specific focus on vulnerable generations. It intends to address the need to modernize and develop educational programs with a specific focus on vulnerable generations and ultimately being a milestone towards the modernization of design education. The specific objectives of the DEVICE project are the following: a) To analyze and study the current status of research and innovative practices on design for vulnerable generations and methodologies for involving children and elderly in product designb) On this basis elaborate a competences portfolio and educational programmes aimed at training students and employees in enterprises in designing and developing human-centred complex products that integrate advanced technological innovations for vulnerable generationsc) Perform pilot educational programmes on design for vulnerable generationsd) Multiply impact through a Vulnerable generation compliant award and a searchable database accessible online aimed at easing knowledge management e) Analyze transferability of results obtained towards and from different target groups (e.g. disabled people) and different geographic contexts (e.g. USA and other developed countries)f) Identify sustainability pathways aimed at fostering university-enterprise collaboration on concrete design and innovation projects The expected results of the DEVICE project are the following: - A report on the current status of research and innovative practices on design for vulnerable generations - a competences portfolio and educational programmes- A report on the evaluation of pilot seminars- A Vulnerable generation compliant award - a searchable database accessible online - a transferability and sustainability report
