DMF Lab at the Design Conference 2024

Ten members of DMF Lab recently returned from a successful trip to the 18th International Design Conference (DESIGN 2024) held in Cavtat, Croatia. Hosted by the Design Society, the conference provided a valuable platform for our team to present research and engage with the wider design community.

We presented a total of sixteen papers, covering a broad spectrum of design topics. The conference itself offered a wealth of interesting talks and papers, fostering stimulating discussions and knowledge exchange. The “design debate” session proved particularly lively, generating a healthy exchange of perspectives within the design field.

Beyond the academic aspects, the conference provided excellent opportunities for networking. We connected with researchers and practitioners from across the globe, establishing valuable contacts that will undoubtedly benefit our future endeavours.

Of course, a trip to Croatia wouldn’t be complete without mentioning the pleasant weather. The sunshine and scenic surroundings offered a welcome respite from conference sessions, allowing for informal discussions and team bonding.

Overall, our participation in DESIGN 2024 was a resounding success. The conference provided a platform to showcase our research, gain new insights, and connect with fellow design enthusiasts. Thanks very much to the organisers, everyone who presented and everyone who asked us questions about our research. We look forward to applying the knowledge and connections gained to further our work at DMF Lab.
