Sonja B\u00e4umel<\/h2>\n

Hidden Connections<\/h4>\n

Sonja lives and works in Vienna and Amsterdam. Her artefacts mediate between art and science, fashion and science, design and science, between clothes and body, between fiction and facts. Her works evolve from permanent confrontation with scientific data and facts, which she often generates herself in experiments and in research labs.<\/p>\n

Professor Alastair Macdonald<\/h2>\n

Design – a disruptive, illuminating and generative force for change? case studies from healthcare<\/h4>\n

Paul is Director of the Art \u00a0& and Design Research Centre, and Design Director of Lab4Living at Sheffield Hallam University.\u00a0 Paul’s research explores the role of\u00a0artefacts\u00a0in multi-disciplinary\u00a0human-centred\u00a0research. He engages in design research where his design activity is used as tool to develop understanding as well as more traditionally to develop solutions to problems.<\/p>\n

Julia Cassim<\/h2>\n

24hour Inclusive Design Challenge<\/h4>\n

Julia is Visiting Senior Research Fellow at the Helen Hamlyn Centre, Royal College of Art.
