Young members Activities
The Design Society especially welcomes all young members and is committed to supporting their education and careers through interesting and beneficial services.
A Diverse & International Community
The Design Society is more than an organisation — it's a growing international community of people who care deeply about design and its impact on the world. Our members come from academia, industry, and education, all united by a common goal: to explore, understand, and improve how we design. Stay tunned.
Our community includes design researchers, educators, students, practitioners, and managers from diverse disciplines — engineering, product design, systems thinking, creativity studies, and beyond. Whether you're just starting your career or shaping the future of design thinking, there's a place for you here.
We connect through conferences like ICED or DESIGN Conference, Special Interest Groups (SIGs), workshops, and local chapters. From flagship events like the International Conference on Engineering Design (ICED) to focused SIG meetings, our community thrives on collaboration and exchange.
The Society is shaped by its members. Whether you're leading a SIG, organising a conference, contributing to a publication, or mentoring students, your voice matters. We invite you to take part, contribute, and help shape the future of design.
You can stay active in the community through our website, newsletters, and social media. Explore our member directory, contribute to our growing content library, and don’t miss updates on events and opportunities.
