#PBDQ12 What are possible strategies and tactics to navigate the swampiness of post-doc life? What role can the DRS play in this?

#PBDQ13 Where does the act of design(ing) end?
Usually, when you have fulfilled the project brief for a client the job is done and the designing is over. However, in relation to a PhD, this is very long, ample time to create and make a physical prototype of some sort that fulfills the theoretical aspects of the study. However, as a designer, you never stop designing as there is a constant need for design exploitation, this should be valid in a research through design PhD.
Johanna Kleinert TUM Technische Universitaet Muenchen The research being linked to industry helps, but then the results need to be tangible to that industry and something that can actually be then implemented, if possible, if it works and if it is a good design. This should not stop more complete theoretical research, but somehow relating to a reality outside of the academic is important. Responses from Loughborough Design School
