Chris Doering is a researcher and co-project manager responsible for the development and coordination of the Ph.D program "Eco-Social Innovation by Design" at Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts (HSLU, Switzerland), in collaboration with the National Institute of Design (NID, India). 

​

He studied product and industrial design at Bauhaus University Weimar and at the University of Fine Arts of Hamburg (HFBK). Chris received his Ph.D from Bauhaus University Weimar through a research project on the information exchange in the context of the sustainable transformation of urban energy infrastructure.

​

Chris believes that groundbreaking ideas are created where diverse perspectives and competences meet. Sustainable development and eco-social innovation needs an open exploration of the possible and the desirable by actors from research, politics, business and society - and the determination to put visions for the future into practice, right here and now.
