Crafting Qualitative Research - AIM Early Career Peer Workshop:

I am involved in organizing an early career workshop on crafting qualitative research on 24 February 2010.

This is an intensive full-day workshop giving early career researchers an opportunity to gain feedback on written work before journal submission. It is co-organized with Dr Markus Perkmann (Imperial) and David Denyer (Cranfield), and has a number of senior academics as discussants. The deadline for submission of a working paper is 5th February, for more details see:

Launch of the Design Innovation Research Centre

Drawing on the work of the Fellowship, I am building a wider research team through the EPSRC Challenging Engineering 'Design Innovation Research Centre.'

The official launch of the Design Innovation Research Centre was on 21st January 2010. This new exploration group, funded through the Engineering and Physical Sciences (EPSRC) flagship 'Challenging Engineering' programme. The vision is of a new mode of design in the digital economy.
