In line with the DRS2018 theme of 'Catalyst', the PhD by Design Satellite Session explored how design can be a catalyst for change, and how practice-based research can shape the relationshop between different social, economic and political actors.

Participants were asked to exchange their thoughts, firstly in groups and finally in a plenary discussion. Groups were organised around three ways in which design approaches are introduced into the public sector: discourses, techniques and artefacts. These three groups, each focussing around one way, exchanged their thoughts from different perspectives before feeding back into the overall Conversation. By the end of the session, participants and convenors reflected on the main arguments and offered questions for further discussion. All participants agreed upon continuing the Conversation by other means after DRS Conference. Convenors organised and distributed the conversation's outputs to foster the post-conference discussion.

However, as public policymaking is a context-dependent activity, the way in which these novel organisations operate significantly differs. This study discusses the emergence of design approaches for policy innovation. The purpose is to map how Policy Labs in Europe introduce design approaches at distinct stages of the policymaking cycle. For this study, 30 organisations in Europe operating at various levels of government were surveyed. Based on the public policymaking process model, it investigates which design methods are Policy Labs deploying to innovate public policies. The study exposed a gap in the awareness of the utilised methods' nature. It also showed that the use of design methods is of less importance than the introduction of design mindsets for public policy innovation, namely 'user-centredness', 'co-creation', and 'exploration'.
