- Title
- Designing tools for interdisciplinary collaboration: from research prototype to digital and tangible boardgame
- Summary
- How can we facilitate effective interdisciplinary collaboration to tackle complex health and well-being challenges? COMMONS is an innovative tool designed to support this process—evolving from a research prototype into a serious game, both as a physical board game and a digital platform. In this session, you’ll discover how we transformed a research methodology into a playable game that helps experts analyze problems, prioritize solutions, and develop a shared understanding across disciplines. We will share insights from extensive playtesting and showcase how COMMONS is applied in real-world settings to enhance collaboration. 🔹 Physical or digital? Explore the unique benefits of both versions. 🔹 Interactive demo: Experience COMMONS in action. 🔹 Practical applications: Learn how to implement the game in your field. If you’re interested in serious gaming, design thinking, and interdisciplinary collaboration, this session is for you. Join us and play along!
