Registration open

The Scottish Design Workshop (SDW)

Join us for the Scottish Design Workshop 2025, inviting academics, practitioners, and others to discuss design and engineering issues. This one-day event will focus on the development of joint research proposals to tackle the most urgent and systemic challenges of today.

Creativity and AI

Please support us by undertaking this short creativity task (15 min); we aim for 600 participants - you do not need a creative background. No personal data will be collected. All our data will be made open access, so help us support design research.
