EAD Committee
The Executive Committee consists of academics from mainly European countries, as well as several from outside of Europe. Their role is to steer the Academy and develop future activities. The Committee has a full meeting at each conference and a sub Committee meets quarterly to review progress and to programme conferences and other activities. Members of the committee independently collaborate on other activities such as workshops, held under the auspices of the European Academy of Design. The committee is currently chaired by the President of the EAD, Professor Louise Valentine of Kent State University, Ohio, United States.
EAD Network
During the last 20 years the EAD has been contributing globally to the promotion and development of design research building an extensive global network.
Only in the 2019 EAD conference hosted by Dundee University more than 250 organisations from 40 countries were represented. We received more than 520 contributions from more than 500 delegates.
These numbers show the power of the EAD network to continuing promoting and developing design research around the world.
