The Design Research Society will host a major international conference in early September 2002.

The venue will be Brunel University's Design campus at Runnymede, on the outskirts of London, near Heathrow Airport. The theme for the conference is 'Common Ground' and the aim is to bring together many of the sub-disciplines and sub-groups of the design research community - to present current work, to explore areas of common interest, to connect, to argue, to integrate, and to celebrate both the commonality and the diversity of our shared interests and strengths. The larger purpose is to take a significant step forward and endorse the new maturity of our international, interdisciplinary community.
