Diversity and Inclusivity by Design (d+iD) is a collaborative research project, established in 2016 and led by Dr Anastasios Maragiannis and his team. The project embeds diversity and inclusivity research in the creative spaces of art and design through co-design methods, and explores the question: “What is enabled when designers design with and for others?” The research investigates how innovative co-design approaches can amplify, diversify, and mobilise various aspects of the design process; enabling design to act more inclusively and irrespective of disability, gender, ethnicity, vulnerability, language, or age. In 2021, the research achieved global recognition by UNESCO partner organisation, the prestigious International Institute of Information Design Award (IIID).
