In October 2019 CLICKNL (Top Sector Creative Industry) organizes the sixth edition of the Design Research & Innovation Festival, DRIVE! On Thursday, 24 October, they put state-of-the-art research in the spotlight during the Dutch Design Week, and your project or research can be part of it.
At the Design Research & Innovation Festival, or, DRIVE, creative professionals, innovation managers and researchers share their latest R&D insights. Through presentations, workshops and discussions, the public gets insight into the growing knowledge base of the creative industry: from design methods to facilitate transitions to the possibilities of personalization, and from digital media to architecture and fashion.
To maintain DRIVE’s position as the top-notch knowledge-in-the creative-industry-festival, CLICKNL wants to hear from you. Do you have a project or research that you want to get a place on the podium with? Learn more about what CLICKNL is looking for below, and submit your proposal.
