PHD STUDENT FORUM: ONGOING DOCTORAL RESEARCH ON DESIGN FOR SUSTAINABILITY

Abstract

This paper results from a survey carried out within LeNS (Learning Network on Sustainability) to map the ongoing Ph.D. research on Design for Sustainability (DfS). This is a global effort with a collective of doctoral candidates from different regions of the world and includes institutions from South America, Africa, Europe, China, India and Oceania. The aim of the research was to support early career researchers working on DfS by providing them an overview of the main ongoing doctoral research themes in the LeNS-affiliated universities and potential zones to foster future efforts and collaboration towards sustainability at the global level.
