Experimental Learning and Innovation Environments connect multi-stakeholders in envisioning, creating, experimenting, and trying novel responses to diverse societal challenges. With designers facilitating the co-creation processes, the design discipline plays an important role in these environments.

Dr. ir. Peter Joore focuses specifically on design processes in which different types of actors, across sectoral boundaries, work together to solve complex societal issues in a living lab environment. He was trained as an industrial designer at TU Delft, where he also obtained his Ph.D. After graduation, he worked as a product designer at several companies. He started working at the Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research (TNO), after which he switched to higher education, working as a professor of Open Innovation at the NHL Stenden University of Applied Sciences in Leeuwarden.
