DESIGNSCAPES (funded by Horizon 2020, project number 763784) seeks to encourage the take-up and scaling of design enabled innovation by enterprises, start-ups, public authorities and other stakeholders.
The aim is to improve performance and efficiency and ultimately competitiveness and make Europe a leader in the field. The project is implemented by a consortium of 12 organisations across 10 EU member states with expertise in design-enabled innovation in cities and urban contexts, stakeholder involvement, collaborative research and learning processes, experience in linking practice, policy and research, and with an extensive set of capacity building tools, instruments and methods, community building, communication and disseminating skills.

The Tavistock Institute's role focuses on evaluation which involves:
- Gathering data and metrics concerning the impact of design-related policies and programmes in terms of user benefit and business impact;
- Developing a transferable methodology to evaluate the effectiveness of design in the innovation process;
- Developing a common impact evaluation methodology and indicators that can be applied across sectors and is scalable to organisational, regional, national and European level.
