About the 9th SIG Tutorial on Design Theory
The 8th Design Theory Tutorial's goal is to provide relevant, inspiring and actionable knowledge to researchers looking to increase their knowledge and competencies in Design Theory. It is an introduction to design theory for PhD students.
Participants
The target audience is scholars, especially PhD students, who are interested in research topics related to design theory. All tutorial professors are international researchers from leading labs working on Design Theory (Carnegie Mellon University, Tel Aviv University, Otto-von-Guericke University, ORT Braude College, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, James Madison University, Mines Paris, etc.)
Objectives
- Learn some of the foundational models used in design theory and research, their relationship and the historical context within which they were proposed.
- Develop skills in applying a variety of design methods in various situations for different purposes – including for research
- Interact with and learn from specialist researchers in the field to develop and refine research questions and to build future collaborations
Interested?
To participate in the tutorial days, please send us a short summary of no more than two pages on your PhD project. We will accept the participation requests based on limited available capacity. NOTE: Senior scholars are also warmly welcome – please send a short note of about two pages on your research program and the reasons for your interest in attending the tutorial.
