Call for Short Papers - UD17: NOISEWISE - Multidisciplinary Doctoral Forum in Design Research

21 Jun 2017

The sixth Annual Doctoral Forum on Design Research will take place at the University of Porto Creative Industries Incubator (UPTEC PINC) on October 16 and 17.

ABOUT

UD17: NOISEWISE (“Design Research in face of current challenges to knowledge”) is a doctoral forum, open to all current PhD students as well as recent graduates. The Forum welcomes PhD students and recent graduates from all disciplines who may want to cross their ongoing research in the field of Design – both contributing to it, and/or benefiting from it.

Non-PhD researchers and potential PhD applicants are welcome to submit abstracts to be presented at a round table that will be held for this purpose.

UD17 aims at fostering the advancement of Design Research from a doctoral perspective: we believe PhD students hold a unique foresight to future developments of the discipline. Additionally, the consolidation of Design Research through doctoral studies will ensure a national and international network beyond individual contexts.

UD17 is organized by the PhD International Doctoral Program in Design of the University of Porto and the University of Aveiro; in partnership with ID+ Research Institute for Design, Media and Culture; FCT Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia; UPTEC Science and Technology Park of University of Porto and IPCA Escola Superior de Design.

UD17 is the sixth edition of the UD conference series, held by ID+/UP/UA since 2012.

UD17 will be followed by FUTUREPLACES on October 18-22, 2017.
