Monash University, one of Australia's leading research universities, is proud to host the DRS International Conference in Melbourne during November 2004.

The theme is 'FUTUREGROUND', and will feature leading edge design research from the international research community. Supporting the central theme will be discourse around design as both cultural activity and production; mapping the discipline's development; and research in an industrial context. Particular emphasis will be on the opportunities this presents for reconsidering the nature of design and an exploration of the scope for future research.

FUTUREGROUND 2004 is a fully refereed international conference and will be supported by a schedule of associated events.

Conference Dates: November 17 - 21, 2004
