Description:

Include 2009: transforming practice in design, research and business

We are pleased to announce that Include 2009, our fifth international conference on inclusive design will take place at the Royal College of Art, London UK from 5 to 8 April 2009, beginning with a welcome reception on Sunday 5 April.

Include 2009 builds on the previous four Include conferences by exploring how inclusive design practice in design, research and business can lead towards innovation in people centred design.

The programme for Include 2009 will comprise a series of professional designer workshops, design debates, paper and poster presentations on the theme of Inclusive design into innovation: transforming practice in design, research and business.

We welcome papers from all areas of the inclusive design community including: designers; design managers; design researchers; academic researchers; design educators and design commissioners. In addition, we welcome papers on user experiences of design practice, process and outcome from voluntary sector organisations and policy makers and commentators.

Please see the call for papers for further information and to download a copy of the Include template.

This conference offers the inclusive design community a moment of critical reflection on inclusive design, what are its achievements, where has it missed crucial opportunities, where does it go from here?
