Too often, promising research results go unused. We use design to ensure that your results do have social impact.
Designers at 8D are not only creative makers; they are also skilled in design thinking, generative action research, co-creation and prototyping.
In every role we play, our goal is the same: ‘How can we use this project result to improve lives, now and in the future?’
We’ve collaborated with researchers affiliated with and/or funded by:

What are the possibilities of AI in healthcare? And more importantly, how can we approach this responsibly? The board game AI+ Hospital sparks an in-depth discussion on this topic. Read more about the development process and discover why a ‘traditional’ board or card game is an incredibly effective tool for solidifying and transferring theoretical knowledge.
Together with the Centre for Language and Speech Technology at Radboud University Nijmegen, 8D Games conducted design-based research into the use of speech technology and gaming to promote language skills in primary school pupils. Playtests with the ‘DigiJuf’ prototype provided valuable new insights on the potential and practical preconditions of game-based practice with speaking, reading, listening and writing.
Food fraud is a global issue that undermines consumer trust and harms businesses. The European Food Fraud Community of Practice (EFF-CoP) project, funded by Horizon Europe, brings together stakeholders to share knowledge and develop innovative solutions to combat food fraud. As lead design partner of this project, 8D designs and creates educational interventions, tools and dissemination resources.

At least, we think so. Together with partners, we like to create informative white papers and webinars. These are freely available, without leaving contact details. We do like to hear whether our knowledge base has given you new ideas and what information you are still missing as a researcher.
