You are warmly invited to attend the Design Research Society's 2013 AGM 
and Symposium hosted by Loughborough Design School, UK on Monday, 17 
June. This year's symposium theme is 'Value of Design Research'.

The symposium is open to all. Registration is free of charge for current 
Design Research Society (DRS) members and full-time students. There is 
£40 attendance fee for non-members. The symposium will be preceded by 
the DRS AGM (DRS paid-up members only) and lunch (DRS members and 
non-members). Lunch is included in the registration fee for both DRS 
members and non-members.

We are fortunate to have secured three prominent design researchers to 
address this year symposium's theme. Professor Georgina Follett from the 
University of Dundee will outline lessons learned from a collaborative 
research project undertaken with V&A. Then Dr Daria Loi, the UX 
Innovation Manager at Intel Corporation, will discuss how a 
multi-region, ethnographically-informed study, which focused on touch 
for clamshell devices, has influenced Intel's Ultrabook strategy. This 
will be followed by Dr Sue Hignett's presentation on the development of 
the national specification to standardise the design of emergency 
ambulances, and the design of paramedic equipment and vehicles to 
support the delivery of care without transportation to hospital.

Speakers' biographies and brief outlines of their presentations are 
available on our website along with a full programme. You can download
