大赛介绍 Introduction In common with every area of our lives, the design discipline is encountering unprecedented challenges and enormous opportunities. One of these opportunities is a fundamental reappraisal of design education embracing global trends of inclusivity, sustainability and world-class standards. In this context, Beijing Institute of Technology is launching the Practical Design Innovation Award (PDIA) to promote the area of practical design education to celebrate outstanding examples of this work from around the world. We define Practical Design as work that is developed in response to a specific problem or situation, employing a rational design approach to achieve a design that is fit-for-purpose, tested and applicable in a real-world scenario. 面向对象 Eligibility All students enrolled in (and recent graduates from) a design course at any higher education institution are eligible. An entry may be derived from graduation work, coursework, or work specifically developed to fit with the competition requirements. Students may participate individually or as part of a team. 大赛要求 Competition Brief Entries may be in any area, including but not limited to product design, industrial design, service design, spatial design, interaction design. The work should be developed in response to a real-world problem or situation that the project has identified. The scale of the problem is of secondary importance to the innovation and creative thinking displayed. Entries should be able to demonstrate how the design has been prototyped and tested and should communicate a design that is fit-for-purpose, tested and applicable in a practical sense. 赛程安排 Timeline Call for entry 2021.09.15 Deadline for entry 2021.11.20 First round 2021.11.24-28 Shortlist Announced 2021.12.01 Final evaluation 2021.12.05 Final awards 2021.12 奖项设置 Awards The Organizing Committee will distribute the prizes to the corresponding winners by bank transfer according to the judging results and in accordance with the relevant fiscal regulations and procedures of the People's Republic of China. 作品提交 Submission Work should be submitted via online system only. https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=pdia2021 email: info@hipdia.com Submission elements should not include the name of the entrant or any icon, graphical element related to the identity of the entrant. 评审团 Judges 持续更新中…… 组织架构 Organizational structure Sponsor Beijing Institute of Technology （BIT） Contractors School of Design and Arts, BIT International Design Centre, School of Design and Arts, BIT Key Laboratory of Industrial Manufacturing Art Innovation and Design of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology Co-organizers BIT Tangshan Research Institute Supporters School of Fine Arts, Tsinghua University School of Design and Creativity, Tongji University School of Industrial Design, Guangzhou Institute of Fine Arts School of Art and Design, Guangdong University of Technology Coventry University, UK Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design Kyushu University, Faculty of Design, Japan University of Technology Sydney, Australia Nottingham University of Ningbo National College of Design, Ireland University of Technology Sydney, Australia Georgia Institute of Technology Coventry University Brunel University Central Saint Martins University for the Creative Arts Northumbria University University of Strathclyde(Design Manufacturing & Engineering Management) University of Hertfordshire Wolverhampton School of Art Continued Update…… Intellectual Property/知识产权 The intellectual property relating to all competition entries remains the property of the entrant.
