Comparison of Similar Labs / Research Institutions Abroad — Profiles of 7 Institutions and ISVD's Position
Selecting 7 overseas labs active in the fields of social design, policy design, civic tech, and epistemic justice, we compare them in a unified structure (founding year / methods / outputs / key figures / similarities and differentiators with ISVD). We clarify the reception status in Japan and what ISVD adopts and does not adopt.
Sixteen Years of MindLab Denmark — Reading a Government Policy Innovation Lab through the Six-Field Integration Model
