EUROPEAN ACADEMY OF DESIGN
The European Academy of Design (EAD) is a voluntary community of academics and practitioners committed to fostering new and existing relationships, in an effort to increase knowledge of the discipline and deepen understanding of how design contributes to improving the quality of life.
Established in 1995, its core principles are to grow an appreciation of the complexity of design and design research, its human centred nature, and its rich diversity of subject, form and context. It is to be of value and service to local and international communities of practice, within design and across other fields of endeavour, such as health, ecology, science, humanities, and medicine.
EAD is a friendly, inclusive, tolerant, inquisitive, challenging and dynamic community. It seeks to:
- support the development and growth of design research in a collegiate manner
- nurture new talent both within design research and across disciplines, acting as a critical friend to help expand the possibilities of self and community
- energise scholars, professionals and friends in a European location, every two years
- facilitate knowledge exchange, collaboration, innovation and invention
- present world leading research for peer review, challenge and discussion
To date, its geographical journey has so far taken the conference to (in chronological order): Salford, England; Stockholm, Sweden; Sheffield, England; Aveiro, Portugal; Barcelona, Spain; Bremen, Germany; Izmir, Turkey; Aberdeen, Scotland; Porto, Portugal; Gothenburg, Sweden; Paris, France; Rome, Italy.
We continue this chain with the 2019 conference in Dundee, Scotland.
The Design Journal
The Design Journal is the official journal of the European Academy of Design.
Established in 1998, The Design Journal is an international refereed journal covering all aspects of design. The journal is published six times a year and provides a forum for design scholars, professionals, educators and managers worldwide.
The journal welcomes articles on design in both cultural and commercial contexts. It aims to publish thought-provoking work which will have a direct impact on design knowledge and which challenges assumptions and methods, while being open-minded about the evolving role of design. It invites high quality, original articles which have relevance to design practice, theory, management and education.
The Design Journal is published by Taylor & Francis Publishing.
