SEEdesign Bulletin 5 now available to download

This fifth issue opens with a research article by Dr Elizabeth Tunstall on mapping the design support landscape, outlining the different contexts in which design support policy is created and applied.

Judith Thompson, Director of the Better by Design programme in New Zealand, is interviewed about the challenging targets set by the programme and its focus on export as a means to economic development for the country.

The inspiring story of Antwerp's Design Center De Winkelhaak is told in the 'Design Support in Practice' section, together with an article on the UK Design Council's Designing Demand programme.

The SEEdesign Bulletin is the only periodical publication dedicated to the discussion of issues related to design support, promotion programmes and design policies worldwide. Every six months the SEEdesign partners publish and distribute a new issue including articles, interviews, case studies and news relevant to practitioners and researchers in this area. In some countries, the Bulletin’s articles have been translated to allow access for more readers.

1,200 copies have been printed of this September 2007 issue. Copies are sent to the partners, who distribute it locally and to a mailing list of around 700 people

in 53 different countries.

The SEEdesign Bulletin is available to download from the SEEdesign website, where you can also register to receive future editions (contact info@seedesign.org). This publication is distributed for free, in line with the SEEdesign project’s aim to facilitate the dissemination of experience and knowledge about design support for SMEs.

We hope you will enjoy your reading!
