International partnerships

Many of the societal challenges we address transcend national borders, which is why we actively seek international collaboration. This creates synergy and increases our impact. We have successfully initiated projects within the Erasmus+ Strategic Partnerships program and, over the past years, have served as design partner and work package lead in more than twenty-five European consortia. Are you working on a project proposal and looking for partners for an EU call? Contact Sven to discuss how our expertise can strengthen your project. We’re also happy to contribute ideas for project design. Incorporating a design approach into your proposal may be challenging, but it’s absolutely possible!

Our expertise

Consortium building

A successful project with real impact relies on a well-balanced consortium: make sure it includes researchers, domain experts, and representatives from your target audience(s). Need help with this? We’ll gladly connect you with experienced partners from our international network.

Work package leadership

We lead work packages in the areas of research and fieldwork, such as data collection through co-design sessions or focus groups. In addition, we have extensive expertise in creative development, ranging from concept development and prototyping to graphic and technical implementation.

Implementation

What does the target audience need to continue using the project’s results in their daily work or life over the long term? This question cannot be asked too early. As a partner—in any role—we always consider implementability as a key design framework.

Programmes

8D works as a consortium partner in (research) projects funded by various European programs. This role has developed organically, as our creative solutions and collaborative approach with target audiences align closely with today’s most pressing challenges. These include the digital transition, the energy transition, and the strengthening of democratic and inclusive communities—key themes where the European Union emphasizes the importance of transnational and interdisciplinary collaboration. We are proud to contribute to these efforts!
