Dear list members,
I want to announce the opening of a new PhD program in Design and Creation at Universidad de Caldas in Colombia. We are pleased to call for registrations for the program starting in Fall 2010. The program offers four research areas in, through and for design: (1) Interrelationships among design, art, science, technology, (2) design and production of interactive products, (3) knowledge management and transmission, and (4) sustainability, art, society and environment. We also invite the design community to participate in our program.
Universidad de Caldas is a national public university located in Manizales, Colombia with high quality certification from the Ministry of Education. Its school of design was created in 1992 with a bachelor degree in Visual Design and has growth rapidly in teaching, research, and public programs. Visual Design was the first visual/graphic design program in the country with high quality certification from the Ministry of Education. Four years ago, the school offered the Master in Interactive Design and Creation, which was a consequence of the research dynamics of the faculty members. The School of Design hosts annually the Image International Fest. Last month was held the 9th version with keynote speakers such as Richard Buchanan, Wolfgang Schaeffner, and Aurelio Horta. The School also edits the first national indexed journal in design research called Kepes Journal.
Feel free to contact us for any inquiry.
Felipe C. LondoƱo, PhD.
