13:30 | Principles for a Sustainable User Experience
The effects of digitalization on people and the environment are not yet foreseeable. Designers have a significant influence on sustainable and user-friendly experiences in the digital world. In practice, there is a lack of scientific debate, best practice examples and guidelines that enable designers to create sustainable user-friendly products. Six principles for a Sustainable User Experience provide an outlook to design products, systems and services with focus on economic, social and environmental sustainability.

14:15 | How to design for a sustainable future. Going beyond human centred design
When asked about designing in a sustainable way many people think about working on a product directly linked to sustainability, like cleaning the ocean, developing solar panels, minimising food waste or tackling inequalities. Few are aware that they should start to integrate sustainability in their everyday practices and consider the long term effects of the product they are working on.
