14th International Conference of the European Academy of Design, Safe Harbours for Design Research

The European Academy of Design EAD is a platform for design academics and practitioners to scale, amplify and empower the creation of design knowledge research. Built on a series of listening town halls with the EAD community. The EAD conference in 2021 broke from the normal rhythm and format. EAD Safe Harbours took place online in a series of events between 12th and 15th of October.
