ECTP has the pleasure to welcome 2 Applicant Organisations
The following organisations have recently applied for ECTP membership:
DEEL (Dutch Empathic Environment Living Labs)
DEEL is a non-profit research and collaboration platform that focuses on developing design strategies and innovative housing solutions to contribute to transforming the building sector towards a more innovative, human-centered, and empathic living environment. Its specific focus on empathic living environments places the human being at the centre of the building process, integrates technological possibilities in construction, and contributes to policy development in this area by collaborating with local governments. DEEL was established in 2017 through a quadruple helix collaboration between several universities, citizens' initiatives, housing associations, care organizations, local governments, and various industrial partners. Through real-life projects throughout the Netherlands, they form a community of learning where these sectors come together to explore and develop new forms of collaboration, connecting the construction sector to more social and health-oriented organizations. Over thirty affiliated organizations currently utilize shared resources, develop and share knowledge, and work together to create real-life models of such living environments.
