PIEp@ICED'09

The PIEp Research School held a Summer School at Stanford University at the end of August 2009, involving 14 PIEp PhD students from Sweden and 7 senior researchers.

A major highlight on the agenda was a visit at the Hasso Plattner Institute of Design (aka the d.school) guided by the director, Bernie Roth.

Other activities included:

Participation in a major international conference - the 17th International Conference on Engineering Design (ICED’09) hosted by Stanford University and sponsored by the Design Society.
Visits to Silicon Valley companies such as Google and IDEO, as well as
seminars, workshops and activities at Stanford University, and
a guided tour of San Francisco and the Height-Ashbury area at the weekend!

During the ICED’09 conference, most of the summer school attendees presented research papers as either podium presentations or elevator pitch presentations. Members of the Research School also organized a larger networking event during the conference, involving students and researchers from the three PIEp International Partner universities - the Technical University of Münich, Cambridge University and the Center for Design Research at Stanford University - who were also taking part in ICED'09.
