Dear colleagues,
few days ago the draft programme of “Design for Next”, the conference organised by the European Academy of Design (EAD), was published online and emailed to attendees. http://www.designfornext.org/programme.html
Upon noticing the lack of diversity in the panel of keynote speakers, some of us decided to write a letter to Chairs and Scientific Committee.
In the letter we request that EAD ensures diversity and gender equality is represented in EAD's conferences, on EAD’s Scientific Committee, and more broadly within the organisation.
The letter was collaboratively wrote by an international group of PhD students and early-carreer academics from various backgrounds. We are hoping that it will lead to concrete actions.
If this matters to you as it does to us, please read, sign, and share:

The letter will be sent out on Wednesday 22nd at 5pm GMT.
Thank you,
and Best Regards,
Serena
