Hello PhD design list

We are now coming up to the beginning of Relating Systems Thinking and
Design (RSD11): Possibilities and Practices of Systemic Design
<https://rsdsymposium.org/> hosted online and in person at the University
of Brighton, and I thought I'd write to update the list.

We have had a fantastic response to the call, and the overall programme has
over 100 papers, over 30 workshops, and a number of other special
interactive sessions and threads. Overall, the theme of the event is to
question the emerging shape of systemic design as it continues to develop.

We've designed the conference to be an even balance between online and in
person experiences, with almost all sessions available in both modes.

*We have kept online registration fees in particular as low as possible
(£85/£40), and there is still time to register. *As well as the online
ticket there are still a small number of in person tickets available
(£330/£230) - please register as soon as possible to secure one of these.
Navigate to this link to register and for details of the programme, and
follow the links at the top of the page: https://rsdsymposium.org/

We have kept this cost to a minimum because we recognise that attending
online is often to attend only in part because of time zones and other
commitments, and we want to price this so it is good value even if you are
only able to attend particular sessions (and of course you can attend
everything!). *We also have made selected sessions available for free,
without registering (see below).*

There are several parts to the programme -

*RSDX 3-9 October (Free)*

Starting next week we have* selected online sessions available for free*,
without registering for the whole event, which you and your students may be
interested in.
