Community Building for Design-Led Materials Research
11 December 2015
The Institute of Making are delighted to have awarded EPSRC small grants to five teams for community-building activities that focus on design-led approaches to materials.
The projects focus on research areas where the sensory, aesthetic and socio-technical properties of materials strongly impact on the popularity and success of products. The activities contribute to collaborative, multi-institutional working in the longer term and bring together members of the creative industries, social sciences and materials science and engineering communities around the theme of design-led materials science.
We look forward to sharing the teams’ findings on the blog and in our annual report. More details about the individual projects can be found here.
