Summary on Grant Application Form
The overall aim of the cluster is to provide a platform to facilitate the sharing, consolidation and promotion of activities in design performance research and practice. Specific objectives are to:-Bring together researchers from diverse communities who can really lead the field in design performance at an international level. -Develop a research agenda, along with priorities and groupings to take the key research issues forward.-Start groupings of collaborative activity to tackle key research issues and form innovative research partnerships that go beyond the design disciplines. -Work towards a common language and reference framework.-Support leading edge research that is both socially aware and economically enterprising. Create a dialogue between designers, artists, engineers, architects, social scientists, etc. -Involve industry in these key discussions.-Encourage cross-fertilisation of ideas, concepts, frameworks and approaches. Disseminate information to the wider community.
