Preparing for Include 2011
Wednesday, 22 September 2010
CFIT has had two abstracts accepted for an International conference on Inclusive Design.
The theme of the Royal College of Art Helen Hamlyn Centre's Include 2011 conference is 'The Role of Inclusive Design in Making Social Innovation Happen'.
We'll be presenting the results to date of the VICON project and discussing the potential role of virtual users in promoting inclusive product design. Before that happens, though, we must turn the two abstracts into papers, to be submitted by October 15th. This gives us a great opportunity to reflect on what we've done so far and to explore how the project can best contribute to the inclusive design agenda.
Include conferences take place in London every two years and they focus on issues central to inclusive and user-centred design. The Royal College of Art is the world's only wholly post-graduate university of art and design. Their Include conferences provide a wonderful opportunity to meet designers, researchers and policy-makers that have a comment interest in developing a more inclusive society.
Include 2011 will take place at the Royal College of Art, London, UK from 18th to 20th April 2011.
