Symposium: 1–5pm The inaugural DesignLab symposium will explore how design research can transcend disciplinary boundaries to address complex social, environmental and technological challenges. Through two focused panels – one on interdisciplinary and one on transdisciplinary design research – the event will examine methodologies, collaborations, and case studies that embody DesignLab’s vision for inclusive, sustainable and context-aware innovation. Following the symposium, guests are invited to join us for the private view of the exhibition. Please book a ticket for each part of the event you would like to attend. Exhibition private view: 6–8pm DesignLab Showcase is an exhibition highlighting the ideas, prototypes and experiments emerging from Anglia Ruskin University’s new DesignLab initiative within the Centre for Media, Arts and Creative Technologies.
