Ideal Lab', design beautiful meaning
Birgitta Ralston is a designer and the head of the Ideal Lab'. It is a program that relocates the meaning of design to a social environment in mutation. In collaboration with invited Agents from the research, arts, science, sociology, and industry the Ideal Lab's goal is to define future needs, provide human results and realise future scenarios through tangible products and processes. She shows results from themes like elders participation, food waste and neighbourhood empathy.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
