What to expect?

Faced with concerns about sustainability and waste, circular economy-based services are increasingly offering innovative alternatives to our traditional patterns of consumption. Designing them, however, presents some new challenges to service designers.

In this free mini-course aimed at both beginning and experienced service designers, you’ll prepare yourself to discover new opportunities in this exciting and ever-more-relevant niche of the economy.
