Design Connexity 8th International Conference of the European Academy of Design
As the trend towards globalisation continues there is a growing connectedness between all our actions and a growing interdependence between the social, economic and the environmental.

This increasing connectedness raises new moral and ethical issues and challenges.

This concept has been termed 'connexity' (Mulgan, 1998) and provides the title for the conference and the backdrop for the themes of the EAD 08 Conference, which seeks to explore the implications of these trends for design research and practice.

8th International Conference of the European Academy of Design offers a forum for design academics, researchers, practitioners and industry representatives to meet, exchange ideas and share new knowledge and insights across the field of design.

The conference includes keynote lectures, papers, posters and an exhibition of practice-based design research.
