The initiatives, themes, issues and questions addressed by the Design Society are discussed and disseminated through the Design Society's conferences and workshops, along with their associated publications. There really is something for everyone! The Design Society prides itself on the quality of its events. DS events deliver insight into the hot topics relevant for engineers, academics and design practitioners. Presenting first-class researchers and design practitioners from all over the globe - design conferences, workshops or SIG events guarantee knowledge sharing, challenge and inspiration.
