In the future, they plan to build an international network of designers and innovators, which will research the latest design knowledge and find answers and solutions to increase the sustainability of fabric design products through the optimal use of current technological developments, as well as to assess the habits and patterns of design products consumption.

The White Papers Database is the key output of the project. It is a collection of research on the most recent findings in the field of design and a repository of information on how the technological and digital progress can support sustainability-related aspects. The White Papers Database offers various materials that are the result of activities and research carried out by the Slovak Design Center in cooperation with its project partners. Furthermore, the results of the project have been also used for the development of the MAK DESIGN LAB, an exhibition organised within the framework of the Vienna Biennale For Change 2019.

The partner organizations in the project are professional institutions for design and applied arts - in Bratislava the Slovak Center for Design (SCD) and the Academy of Fine Arts in Bratislava (VŠVU), in Vienna MAK - Österreichisches Museum für angewandte Kunst / Gegenwartskunst and Die Angewandte - Universität für ange Art in Vienna.
