Opening of the RU research area ”Designing Human Technologies”
Come and participate in making the design research at RU a festive event!
The new strategic research area at Roskilde University "Designing Human Technologies” will be opened on 7 June 2013 at 13:00 – 15:00 in building 04. It will be a sparkling kick-off with tastes for the brain as well as the palate. Please enroll no later than 23 May to http://reg.ruc.dk/design2013/? for the sake of the planning and the ordering of food.
Designing Human Technologies form the research related background for the new technical scientific main area at RU and the educations at HumTek with the three dimensions of design, human science and technology, respectively. The research programme gathers a wide circle of researchers at RU through a united cross-functional research and educational cooperation.
