About Us

Founded in summer 2013, the HKDI Design for Social Innovation and Sustainability (DESIS) Lab for Social Design Research is a new cross-disciplinary action research group at HKDI.

Its aim is to set up a research platform for social design, an emerging field advocating a new approach to design: ‘designers as enablers of social change’. 

It is part of the DESIS International Network and collaborates with more than 50 DESIS Labs around the world. The network aims to advance international knowledge in design for the social good and to develop social practices that benefit Hong Kong society.
