In our UNESCO City of Design, we want to make the most of our three days together – so we’re making a few changes. Don’t worry, our old friend ‘the paper’ is still here – but we want to make new friends too. We’ve created some new opportunities to share and shape your work as designers and researchers: to give everyone the chance to play with what a design conference can be with:  Posters, Positioning Papers, Research Proposals, Workshops and Walks.

Involve us all in your live research. Use the international EAD community to explore new insights for your work through workshops, projects and outdoor adventures. Be provocative! Share your experience in the field and spark a debate. Show don’t tell: visualise your work and share its value.

The new and expanded range of formats in which design and associated research can be presented are a purposeful intervention to afford the community (as a collective) to consider three things:

1. the nature and purpose of international research conferences, publications and networks in the future,
2. how to nurture rich conversation(s) between the different contexts, cultures, forms, and phases of design and-or its research, and
3. deep reflection on the expanding diversity of research permeating the modern design landscape

EAD2019 Dundee seeks to welcome new and old colleagues; to continue nurturing a dynamic relation between all levels of experience, from Emeritus Professors to PhDs, PostDocs to Directors of Research and Innovation, professional designers to academic researchers, newly awarded doctors to newly appointed professors; to celebrate the full spectrum of professional experience held across the network and emerging through its new knowledge.
