Dear All:
This conference celebrates the 10th anniversary of the European Academy of Design conferences and contributes to a discussion on the role of design and designers in crafting our futures.
The theme of the conference is the practical knowledge of the designer. How can the specific knowledge of designers be brought forward, articulated and made visible, and how can it be understood and used in contexts like innovation, business development and
social change?
It would be good if you could contribute to any of the strands below, the main idea is of a return to the roots of design practice as well as theoretical frameworks that enable us to explore and further our understanding of the role of our practice in design, education, business and society. Go to the website and click on the strands you are interested in and submit an abstract.
