Seminar on Design & Emotion - 12 January 2012

The first Brazilian Seminar on Design and Emotion will take place in Porto Alegre, the capital of the southernmost state in the country, on 12 January 2012.

It will be the first initiative of the Design and Emotion Society in South America, launching the Local Chapter in Brazil.

Starting from this Ist Brazilian Seminar, the board of the Local Chapter (Dr. Leandro Tonetto and Marcos Nahr) promises to keep the local scientific and professional communities updated about the emerging issues in the field of Design and Emotion.

Program

The two-day Seminar is going to discuss emerging practices and approaches on Design and Emotion, including presentations from Pieter Desmet (TUDelft), keynote speaker, Leandro Tonetto (Zooma and Unisinos), Filipe Campelo da Costa (Unisinos), and Marcos Nahr (Dell).

In the first day, apart from individual presentations from the speakers, a workshop will be developed with students, focusing on socially relevant topics. In the second day, the Seminar includes an industry-orientated workshop for professionals.

We hope that the Ist Brazilian Seminar on Design and Emotion can help developing research and design practices in the field in South America!
