The  Experts Cluster Sustainable Design wants to network and bundle all initiatives, actors, resources and available know-how on the subject of sustainable design [1]  in Austria. “Learning by sharing” for an overarching goal: responsible action for environmentally and socially sustainable products (product service systems, graphic products, etc.).

The goals of Sustainable Design EC are:

• to contribute to the development of the theoretical and practical aspects of sustainable design in Austria (cluster initiator IDRV researches, among other things, scientific methods and tools for designers).
• to provide an overview of all initiatives and actors in Austria.
• to find pilot or reference projects on the subject that SustainableDesign EC can use to showcase sustainable design and raise public consciousness.
