Physicality International Workshop Series

Engaging with the Community

The main purpose of these series of Physicality International Workshops and related events is to create a sense of engagement with the community. While the workshops have been essentially academic events, they have attracted participation from both academia and industry. These formed part of the DEPtH (AHRC/EPSRC funded Designing for the 21st century Initiative) project’s dissemination programme and nurtured an international interdisciplinary community. The workshops had tutorial sessions and invited practitioner presentations, but was mainly used to run a ‘hack fest’ type activity creating physical group prototypes to a brief.
