Join our symposium on the future of product design in Aalto University. This event is aimed for both researchers and practitioners of design. We present the selected local and global research in the area. Our highlights include two international keynotes on the empirical studies of design practice at international companies by Stanford University (U.S.) and KTH (Sweden) researchers. Two Aalto research projects, LUTUS and VISCI share their results from collaboration with leading Finnish design companies.
