This presentation is part of the results of the workshop "Design Policy in Action - The model of the Luxembourg Design Action Group". The event was organized by the Design Policy Lab at Politecnico di Milano and Luxinnovation, and took place in March 2016 at MUDAM, the Museum of Modern Art in Luxembourg, and was organised as part of Design for Europe. This presentation made by Polimi ambassadors has been used as introductory material both to the event and to The Design Policy Lab latest project, the Design Policy Beacon.
