Singapore University of Technology and Design
Overview
The inaugural Winter School on Design Science (WSDS) was successfully held on 8 - 12 January 2024 at Singapore University of Technology and Design. The 5-day program was dedicated to exploring design theories and methods that transcend traditional boundaries, bridging the gap between design science and design practices across fields. WSDS attracted a global array of participants from esteemed universities like UC Berkeley, Imperial College, University of Melbourne, National University of Singapore, Tsinghua University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, SUSTech and Sichuan University, engaging in intercutural and interdisciplinary learning and inspiration. WSDS emerged as a vibrant forum for envisioning the future of technology and design. A heartful thank you to all participants for their enthusiastic contributions and insightful discussions. We are excited about the future of WSDS and its role in advancing Design Science as a unified field of study.
