Dear list members, Please find the link to the announcement of the conference that APCI is organising next January in Paris. As every year, it offers an opportunity to discuss issues related to the profession, its challenges and the policy framework in which it operates. Speakers have different backgrounds, and offer insights from their practice and experience. This year, a special emphasis is put on design processes embedded in local initiatives and rather well defined contexts. Examples will come from the field of urban planning and housing, but also from Living labs set up in rural region. The second day will offer insights on the impact of the economic downturn on the course of design strategies. Rather than looking at budget restrictions, we will focus on the responses that some businesses have developed, and the challenges they raise for the profession. You will find more information at : http://www.apci.asso.fr/actualites_uk/actualite.php?id=001345 Register now to benefit from a significant "early bird" discount. I am looking forward to welcoming you in Paris ! Jean Jean Schneider Project manager APCI
