DEADLINE 2 (only for new participants)
Presentation abstracts (max. 200 words + 1 image) due by Friday October 12, 2018.
During the first hour of the meeting, new club participants will have the opportunity to make a short presentation of a current research project.
Then we will dive into some general discussion about research questions and practice-based research methods, followed by smaller conversation groups around the following themes:
1. Initiating a new research project (intended for early-stage researchers)
2. Material-, workshop-, and lab-based research through design: methods and approaches
3. Scholarly research into design as subject matter: methods and approaches
You are welcome to attend whether or not you attended the first meeting, which took place in June 2018. But please note that there is no audience at Design / Research Club. All members are participants!
