Annually, the Design Research Society holds a symposium at the time of its AGM. The symposium is a public event open to non-members of the society.
This year, the DRS symposium ‘2050 and all that...’ to be held on Friday 10 December 2010 in Birmingham UK, will explore design opportunities for a sustainable future and consider how we may envision changes that will be needed - perhaps especially in consumer behaviour - between now and the apparently pivotal year 2050.
We have assembled some leading thinkers to address scenarios leading to 2050. The keynote speakers are: the well known design sustainability activist John Thackara (Doors of Perception), Tracy Bhamra (Loughborough University), and Emma Dewberry (Open University). There will be plenty of opportunity for discussion, including a networking party at the close.
This event will be of interest to design academics and practitioners across a very wide range of subject specialisms. There are also some free places for research students.
Full details of the event and how to book a place are available on the DRS website:
