Abstract

This poster presents the “Accelerating Innovation” programme, a set up for
three PhD research projects that was created within the collaboration between the
Royal Schiphol Group and the Industrial Design Engineering faculty of the TU Delft.
With this collaboration, researchers from the IDE faculty were engaged in three challenges: (1) designing towards pandemic antifragility in Multimodal Transport Hubs (MTHs); (2) transforming Airport Hubs into passenger-oriented MTHs, and (3) investigating the adoption of autonomous processes in the context of organizations. An action research methodology is followed in the projects, meaning that the researchers are embedded in the organization, and actively participate in daily
practice. This poster presents the scope of the three projects, as well as the studies and academic supervision tasks that the researchers have undertaken until now; we hope to contribute with an example of action-research oriented PhD projects, which could serve to ilustrate transdisciplinary research perspectives.
