IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0Van Alen's research is grounded in a firm belief that design is a crucial tool for investigating the most pressing social, cultural, and ecological challenges we face. Our research projects draw on the expertise of leaders from the world of policy, science, the arts, economics, medicine, and beyond.
