Extra space available at La Clusaz conference on Doctoral Education in Design
Interest in the conference on Doctoral Education in Design: Foundations for
the Future has been substantial. Over the last week or two, we accumulated
a small waiting list and we heard that a few people were discouraged from
booking because of the 80-person limit.
The limit was determined by two factors. One factor is the value of a small
meeting that allows rich face-to-face interaction in a single track. The
second factor was the size of the conference space.
The highly successful interaction at the Ohio conference suggests that we
can preserve the intimate sense of dialogue while accepting more than 80
people. We have now moved the conference to a larger hall and we can accept
some more participants.
If you wish to participate in the conference at La Clusaz, please register
