Designing for the 21st Century
http://www.design21.dundee.ac.uk/home.html
In the UK, the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council
(EPSRC) and the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) both have
remits which include an interest in design research.
As a result of this mutual interest the EPSRC and AHRC have
established the 'Designing for the 21st Century' Initiative as a
vehicle for supporting design research over a five-year period from
2005 * 2009.
A web site explaining the aims and objectives of this initiative has
just been launched at
http://www.design21.dundee.ac.uk/home.html
In the 2005 calendar year the Initiative is supporting 21 research
clusters. The website provides contact details for each of these
research clusters and a list of activities and events that are taking
place across the UK during 2005. If you would like to take part in
any of these events please contact the organising research cluster.
If you have any general queries about the 'Designing for the 21st
Century' initiative please contact
