Norddesign 2012 - Conference at Aalborg University

August 22nd – 24th 2012

Center for Industrial Production, Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, and Department of Architecture and Design, Aalborg University, invite you to participate in the NordDesign 2012 conference to be held August 22nd - 24th 2012 in Aalborg, Denmark.

An International Conference

This ninth biannual conference serves as a Nordic complement to the large European and American conferences within the field of Engineering Design and Product Development, but participants from other countries are also cordially welcomed.

The conference is organised in cooperation with the Design Society and complies to the Design Society’s rules and quality standards with respect to review process, publication etc.

A Nordic Approach

Our Nordic approach to product development in industry, research and education is based on cooperation between industry and academia. The cooperation is close and informal. Industrial companies allow researchers and students access to carry out empirical studies in practice, and companies offer student projects based on actual and important product development tasks. Students are expected to work responsibly and to synthesise results on operational as well as strategic levels. Nordic design education is based on contemporary research results.
