This paper, written together with Ezio Manzini, reports about EMUDE (2004/06) a Specific Support Action financed by the European Commission Directorate within the 6th FP. The project started by observing a phenomenon of social innovation: the emergence in Europe of groups of active, enterprising, people inventing and putting into practice original ways of dealing with everyday problems. Ways that can be considered promising in terms of sustainability. Moving from these cases the research outlines a comprehensive map of emerging sustainable user demands and generates a set of qualitative scenarios on how these demands, and the consequent product-service innovation, may co-evolve.

Abstract

This paper, written together with Ezio Manzini, reports about EMUDE (2004/06) a Specific Support Action financed by the European Commission Directorate within the 6th FP. The project started by observing a phenomenon of social innovation: the emergence in Europe of groups of active, enterprising, people inventing and putting into practice original ways of dealing with everyday problems. Ways that can be considered promising in terms of sustainability. Moving from these cases the research outlines a comprehensive map of emerging sustainable user demands and generates a set of qualitative scenarios on how these demands, and the consequent product-service innovation, may co-evolve.
