Dr. Milica Prokic

Impact Development Manager Pure portal

Milica is an environmental humanities researcher with a background in Visual Arts. Her  knowledge exchange and impact work focuses on the interrelated themes of environment and human health. Before joining Design HOPES, she has worked on projects such as the One Ocean Hub and the Scottish Parliament Cross Party Group for Medicinal Cannabis.

Her research focuses on entanglements and experiences of human and other-than-human beings in adverse environments, such as prisons, places of exile, or frontlines. Through her art practice, Milica works on bringing  research across the fields, from humanities to STEM, including quantum physics, closer to the wider community.

Design HOPES is a collaborative design-led research initiative, comprising five Scottish Universities (University of Strathclyde, University of Dundee, Heriot Watt University, Abertay University, and the University of Edinburgh), NHS Scotland, the third sector, and design organisations.

This project is funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) as part of the Future Observatory GTE Hub Programme at the Design Museum [grant number AH/Y00373X/1].
