This video introduces Design HOPES, a design-led research project advancing sustainability in Scotland’s Health and Social Care sector. In collaboration with NHS Scotland, universities, and design enterprises, the project develops innovative interventions to reduce energy use, minimise waste, and go beyond Net Zero. Design HOPES shows how design can create a healthier future for both people and the planet.

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].
