6th International Design Education Conference


The Sixth International DEFSA conference was appropriately titled 20/20 Design Vision. In 2011, the Forum was celebrating its 20th anniversary and in so doing, marked an important milestone in its reflection on design education from the past, present as well as visions for the future. The conference theme - 20/20 Design Vision, offered participants the opportunity to focus on many interesting topics that ranged from an overview of the state of design education in the last 20 years to more importantly offering future visions beyond the present.

A total of 23 papers were presented over a two-day period, addressing a range of topics that were pertinent to the conference theme. Of these papers 22 papers were accepted for publication in the conference proceedings.

World Industrial Design Day - 29 June 2012


This year marks the 5th anniversary since the inception of World Industrial Design Day, which was created in 2007 on the occasion of Icsid's 50th anniversary.  To celebrate the milestone, the organisation is asking the global design community one simple question - What is industrial design?

To facilitate the collection of ideas about 'What is industrial design?' Icsid has launched a social media campaign. All Icsid Members and friends are encouraged to participate in this year's video challenge by submitting their definition of industrial design in 10 seconds or less.
