BEDA International Design Policy Conference: Initial Helsinki Conference report

NEXT GENERATION DESIGN POLICY FOR EUROPE

BEDA successfully delivered its first international one-day design policy conference, ‘Successful Europe – How can design serve?’ in Oodi, (Helsinki’s award-winning City Centre Library), on Thursday 5th December 2019.

The conference was made possible in close collaboration with BEDA Member Ornamo Art and Design Finland, and through generous sponsorship from Finland’s Ministry of Education and Culture, Arts Promotion Centre, Finland and the City of Helsinki.

An initial Conference report, ‘The time for design to serve is now’, drawn from the various presentations made during the day, has now been drafted. Please take time to look at the BEDA Conference Report.

The outcomes of the afternoon’s successful policy workshop will require deeper analysis. Our intention is to issue further documentation in February-March 2020 as a next step in our journey towards defining and communicating next generation design policy for Europe.
