ABSTRACT
The chapter analyses how an organisation attempts to change its values from within. The chapter focuses on the Design Impact Transition (DIT) platform, Erasmus University Rotterdam to experiment with new ways of carrying out research, education and engagement. Universities have been criticised for being ivory towers for too long and are now changing. In so doing, universities need to reframe their position and legitimacy within society at large, a process that artists, cultural organisations, and cultural and creative industries have also undergone. This chapter serves as a follow-up to the chapters in this volume on the humane economy, value formation and conflict, institutional change, and can be viewed as a companion piece to the chapter on realising the values of science.
