Ambra is associate professor at the Umeå Institute of Design. She is also senior researcher at RISE, Research Institute of Sweden and guest researcher at the Department of Industrial Design at the Eindhoven University of Technology (NL), in particular, she collaborates with research group of Systemic Change.

Ambra Trotto works as the Design and Research Director of d.centre, a European endeavour that catalyses ecosystems into transforming existing practices into sustainable ones, through design, by initiating and curating multidimensional and transdisciplinary synergies based on beauty, diversity and meaning, to realise sustainable futures. d.centre|EU is the design competence centre of the newly formed knowledge and Innovation Community EIT Culture and Creativity.

Ambra Trotto’s fascinations lie in how to empower ethics, through design, using digital and non-digital technologies as materials. Strongly believing in the power of Design and Making, Ambra works with makers, builders, craftsmen, dancers and designers to shape societal transformation. Within her design research activity, she produces co-design methods to boost transdisciplinary design conversations.

She is also senior advisor for the Digital Ethics initiative, setting the foundations of how to take ethics into account, when designing transformation with technology as a material.
She has initiated the expansion project of RISE in the North of Sweden, through The Pink Initiative, with the long-term goal of promoting socially and environmentally sustainable development in the region, through design research.
