The MEDEA meeting will be held on Monday, 2 March 2009 between 13:30 - 15:30. A topic for discussion will be MEDEA's relationship to the Icograda Education Network (IEN).??
VCUQatar has slated three speakers who will focus on designers of the future and integration of design opportunities into business, civil society, design entrepreneurship, design leadership etc. This will provide an excellent opportunity for designer educators to meet and discuss issues facing design education specific to their region.
