School of Art & Design postgraduate students Amandeep Kaur and Robert Schwartz, with Head of Foundation Studies Gilbert Riedelbauch and Head of School Professor Denise Ferris, have represented ANU as one of three international universities invited to present at the Cultural Spaces and Design research project dissemination conference in Basel, Switzerland.

Hosted by HyperWerk Institute for Postindustrial Design, University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland, the conference was held at the Museum for Culture (Museum der Kulturen) and brought together researchers, educators, design practitioners, and design students from around the world to examine globalisation as a design issue and elaborate on aspects relevant to design education.

A book about the project will be published in late 2017.
