Dear colleagues, this is a reminder of the call for papers for and update on NordDesign 2014. Please distribute! You can find the original call at the bottom.
NordDesign goes to Australia!
To celebrate the 10th NordDesign conference, we decided to provide an opportunity to be part of the event at almost exactly the opposite side of the world! Parallel to the main event in Finland, there will be a one-day satellite conference with a shared live session at Swinburne Design Factory, Melbourne.
Due to this, the abstract deadline for NordDesign has been extended by a week to February 21st. The submission system is now open and accessible via the conference website:

We are looking forward to seeing you at the 10th NordDesign conference in Finland and Australia!
On behalf of the local organizing teams,
Professor Kalevi Ekman

NordDesign 2014 at Aalto University Design Factory
Espoo, Finland August 27th – 29th 2014
In the area of innovation, design and product development we quite often seem to know that something works in practice, but might lack understanding on the theoretical foundations. Many of the topical issues related to design, development, and innovation that seem to be regarded as “common knowledge” within the industry, are insufficiently founded from the theoretical perspective. On the other hand, results of academic research are often insufficiently disseminated to the industry.
We are calling for evidence-based academic work on topical issues on design, product development and innovation that strengthens both our theoretical understanding, and the connection between theory and practice.
The 10th biannual NordDesign Conference – Creating Together – will take place in Espoo, Finland on 27-29 August 2014. Organized by Aalto University Design Factory and the Department of Engineering Design and Production along with other Aalto contributors in partnership with Design Society, this conference will bring together design, engineering and innovation experts from Nordic countries and internationally. The three-day program will involve leading keynotes, presentations from both academia and industry along with real interaction and co-creation of new opportunities between academics and practitioners. Delegates will experience the atmosphere of Aalto Design Factory, which reflects the main theme of this conference, interdisciplinary co-creation.
