BEDA 50th Celebration Insight Forum EU Design Future

Insight Forum & General Assembly, Brussels May 2019

BEDA 50th Celebration Insight Forum EU Design Future

BEDA Insight Forum, a special forum to celebrate BEDA’s 50 Years Anniversary, will take place on Thursday 16 May at the ADAM Brussels Design Museum.

This symposium will give you an insight into the current position and latest developments in the design sector as part of the rich and diverse European community. We will examine the role of design in policy, communities, education and innovation and seek to ask some hard-hitting questions to spark dynamic discussion. How is design perceived by governments, industry and wider society? Can design deliver on big promises of leading innovation? What does the EU Design Future look like?

The EU design future will be discussed through inspiring presentations by BEDA members, amongst which Kike Correcher from READ (Spain), Severin Filek from Designaustria (Austria), Karen Hennessy from DCCOI (Ireland), Lilijana Madjar from RRA LUR (Slovenia), Christina Melander from DDC (Denmark), Fabrizio Pierandrei from ADI (Italy), Michal Stefanowksi from Inno+NPD (Poland), Isabelle Vérilhac from Cité du design (France) and Sian Whyte from Design Council (UK).
