Open researcher positions in the DESMA project
Our new EU-funded research project has opened its web site:
We are looking to recruit 12 Early Stage Researchers to DESMA, a European doctoral level research training network in the area of Design Management. The positions are full time for three years, starting in September 2012. Opportunities for adding a fourth year for completing a PhD will be discussed separately for each position.
DESMA is an Initial Training Network funded by the European Commission’s Marie Curie Actions that combines 4 leading universities within the area of Design Management (University of Gothenburg, Aalto University in Helsinki, Politecnico di Milano, and Imperial College, London), 4 leading European design consultancies (Ergonomidesign, Engine, Live|work, Future Concept Lab) and 4 complementary product and service organizations (Volvo Group, Philips Innohub, Poltrona Frau, Living Labs Global) in an unprecedented cross-disciplinary effort to understand how design can be exploited as a driver of innovation and competitiveness in Europe.
We are seeking applicants with a master degree in either design or business and some professional experience. The employed researchers will conduct research projects in collaboration with their host organization, take part in a common training programme with doctoral level courses and build a forum for design management research in Europe.
Last date for submissions is March 15th 2012

10th Nordcode seminar at Roskilde University Sep 28-30 2011
More information:
http://www.nordcode.net/?page_id=672
The 10th Nordcode seminar in 2011 will be in Denmark, at Roskilde University, 40km west of Copenhagen. The seminar is organized and hosted by Performance Design at the Department of Communication, Business, and Information Technologies. This years theme recognises the performative turn of product design. Over the past decade there has been a focus on performance studies. Jon McKenzie in his book “Perform – or else” (Routledge 2001) recognises three kinds of performance: organisational performance, technological performance, and theatrical performance. The performance perspective allows the designer to understand both the design process and the usage of a product as a performance, where artefacts and persons play together in a certain context. The performative turn opens a new world of thinking about design: How does the user perform using a new design? How does the design perform in a certain context? How does the designer perform when designing an artefact? How does the designer perform, when a design is evaluated? The spatial context of a performance is crucial to the way, we design. How can we design artefacts to perform in certain contexts? What does the context mean for the design process?
