The Cognitive Design Science SIG aims to support scientific research about the designing mind and brain.
The Cognitive Design Science SIG aims to support scientific research about the designing mind and brain. It does this by providing mechanisms for interdisciplinary networking and collaboration, joint discussions on research questions and direction, the exchange of ideas and expertise, and professional development.
The Cognitive Design Science SIG has three key goals: G1. To provide a forum for researchers in the CDS area that supports sustained discussion, networking, and collaboration as the field evolves. G2. To develop, through this forum, a joint and continually evolving research framework and roadmap for CDS. Encompassing diverse research areas, challenges, and impacts in the short, medium and long term. G3. To support the training and development needs of CDS researchers.
Join our LinkedIn group, become a member of the SIG through the Design Society, and take part in our upcoming events. We regularly host workshops at conferences such as ICED, E&PDE, and DESIGN, offering opportunities for collaboration and knowledge exchange.
We provide a space for individuals with common interests to share knowledge, collaborate, and address challenges in their domain. We also encourage networking, and partnerships across academia, industry, and practice.
They focus on advancing knowledge in specific fields by organising research activities, developing best practices, and publishing findings. They can contribute to thought leadership by defining emerging trends and proposing frameworks or methodologies.
SIGs often organise workshops, webinars, and conferences to educate members on new tools, techniques, and advancements in their area of focus.
They offer mentoring, knowledge-sharing sessions, and access to expertise, helping members grow professionally.
SIGs create a sense of belonging for members, encouraging dialogue and collaboration on shared challenges and innovations.
We have a wide array of SIGs, that are constantly evolving. If you don't see a SIG in your research area, why not create one? The Design Society is open to proposals and may provide funding!
