Closing date looming for Design Conference

ENTHUSIASTIC: FID Dean Prof Johannes Cronje spearheads the DDR conference

Wednesday, 25 April 2012

The Design, Development and Research Conference is back for the second time.

The hugely popular conference drew academics and industry leaders from a spectrum of design niches in its inauguration last year and promises to be a stimulating collective once again.

While the conference only takes place in September, a call has been made for interested parties to submit research papers and posters for the following tracks viz; Design, Development, ICT for Development (ICT4D), Dilemmas, Instructional Design and Research.

Last year’s speakers included architect Mokena Makeka and world-renowned designer Prof Jackie Guille and this year’s lineup promises to be as stimulating.

The exciting announcement that Cape Town is the World Design Capital for 2014 makes an event like DDR even more significant.

FID Dean Johannes Cronje urged anyone with a passion for design to submit an abstract and get involved.

“We have a chance here to develop something really special and become internationally known,” he says.

To be part of this exciting design event then submit your abstract submission by May 8. Visit http://www.design-development-research.co.za for more information.
