Registrations are now open to attend the second biennial Research Through
Design (RTD) conference, to be held in Cambridge, UK, between the 25th and
27th of March 2015. RTD is a new conference that supports the dissemination
of practice-based design research through a novel and experimental
conference format, comprising a curated exhibition accompanied by
round-table discussions in Rooms of Interestı. Building on the success of
the inaugural RTD conference held at the BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art
in 2013, the 2015 conference is to be hosted at Microsoft Researchıs new
European lab in the centre of Cambridge. This promises to be an exciting
venue for exploring what research through design means in the early 21st
Century.
RTD 2015 will offer a diverse programme of peer-reviewed work and invited
talks. As with the first conference, RTD 2015 aims to foreground the
materiality of design research, placing its artefacts, processes, and
practices centre stage. The exhibition will be used as a platform for
presenting and demonstrating research processes and outputs, and for
generating debate about the role of the design practitioner and their work
in a research context. From an initial submission of 223 abstracts,
following two rounds of peer-review we have accepted a final set of 34 high
quality submissions to be exhibited and presented at the conference (an
overall acceptance rate of 15%). A preliminary programme of sessions at the
conference can be found on our website:

RTD 2015 also includes an exciting programme of invited Provocationsı
plenary talks that will take place throughout the conference for inspiring
and provoking further discussion and debate around the conference themes. We
are delighted to have thus far confirmed provocations from Nelly Ben Hayoun,
Sir Christopher Frayling, David Gauntlett and Amy Twigger Holroyd.
We look forward to seeing you at RTD 2015 in March. To find out more about
