Author

Abstract
This chapter presents an in-depth exploration of Comon, an initiative by Ghent University, the City of Ghent, imec, and Ghent Public Library. Comon embodies an innovative approach to address societal challenges, such as miscommunication between patients and medical personnel, and sedentary and unhealthy lifestyles. This approach activates diverse, transdisciplinary networks and builds on a five-phase design-thinking process that facilitates the development of tangible prototypes. These prototypes serve as boundary objects that bridge the gap between academic and practical expertise as they stimulate discussions amongst a diverse range of participants. The approach has proven effective in cultivating an environment rich in innovation, entrepreneurship, and active participation.
