Design research is a relatively new formal activity and what it comprises is still a matter for debate. For example,
there are viewpoints as to what is a 'quality' research outcome. Some argue that a refereed paper in an international
journal as a result of a systematic study in design should be the highest aim of researchers in the design community.
Others argue that original practical work resulting from creative endeavour can be a valid high quality 'design
research ' publication on its own. This event, organised in conjunction with
the Design Research Society, encouraged discussion about
some of the issues involved, and is of particular interest to those developing a 'design research culture'.
