Research activities

Frugal innovation was presented as a new approach that challenges traditional innovation models. Its origins lie in India and many other developing countries where the material resources to design and innovate are limited, without ending the innovation of local people. The research focuses on understanding design processes that incorporate local considerations into particular social and cultural contexts. The phases that allow the generation of concepts and the solution of problems are particularly studied.

Keywords: Sustainable Development, Frugal Innovation, Social Innovation, User Centered Design.
