Seminar series
This seminar series focuses on interdisciplinary approaches to design in digital media and communication, information systems and socio-cultural approaches to learning. As part of the Designing Design Project, the seminars position design studies at the University of Oslo. We aim to draw together a range of expertise and knowledge form theory and practice. Participation is open to researchers, educators, designers and higher education students. The events are free but registration is needed.
