DRS 2018
DRS2018, hosted by the University of Limerick and Limerick School of Art and Design, Limerick Institute of Technology, invites designers to explore these relationships across an exciting four-day conference from 25th- 28th June 2018.
Building on the futures orientation of DRS2016, DRS2018 will explore emergent themes at the intersections of design research, design practice, design education and design policy.
It aims to provide a platform for discussions around the changing territorial contexts of design locally, nationally and transnationally. Ireland is an ideal location to position these explorations as it has recently launched an ambitious programme of capacity building for design policy and practice.
We invite practicing designers, design researchers, academics and students to input and share research and practice insights through keynotes, debates, presentations, workshops and conversations. We actively encourage engagement from traditional and non-traditional design researchers from around the world.
