International Summer School
Models of Creative Design for Innovation in Science and Technology
Aveiro University, Portugal
September 19-25, 2010
"Models of Creative Design" 2010 is a summer school proposed by the DESIRE Marie Curie Initial Training Network: "Creative Design for Innovation in Science and Technology". DESIRE aims to establish an interdisciplinary network of researchers investigating creative design in various applied domains, including interaction design, industrial design, and arts design.
The 2010 summer school will build on grounding creativity theory, analysis and modelling creative processes in design and innovation. Industrial, artistic, and collaborative design will be explored from the perspective of the user, the cognitive scientist, the software engineer, and the interaction scholars as well as the designer. Several aspects of creative design, such as: design cognition models; design processing; computer supported collaborative design, creative digital interaction and qualitative analysis; will be examined.
The summer school is addressed to young researchers, PhD students, or professionals in the fields of Human Computer Interaction, Interaction design, Experience design and Industrial design.
The school is intensive and residential. It consists of a cycle of lectures, assisted learning and training. The official language is English and all teaching activities and materials will be in English.
Applications
The school will be open to 28 highly qualified, motivated students, 13 from the DESIRE project and 15 from outside. PhD students, young researchers or industrial professionals in the field are encouraged to apply. The applications will be evaluated as soon as they are submitted on the basis of their application date and the applicants' curricula vitae (two-page résumé including reasons for participating in the school). The school is partially funded by the DESIRE network.
Application Deadline: 3 May 2010
