KISDtalks

The KISDtalks are a public lecture series on relevant perspectives of design. The format provides space for an open-minded and profound analysis of current and future issues of design, culture, society, technology, and different scientific disciplines. This semesters’ topic is “Successful Alumni”.

Topics are interdisciplinary, integrative, and provide internationality by domestic and international speakers. The KISDtalks take place usually on Tuesdays or Wednesdays at 5:30 pm. The 60-90 minutes-long presentations with “Q&A” are a public event and free of charge.

We announce the latest KISDtalks on our Event-Calender.

The talk will be held in English in room 11 at KISD.
If you are unable to attend on site, please join us via Zoom:
