Communication with members
Within the horizontal structure of Platform events, Research Projects and PhD seminars , the DSD Faculty and Research supervisors bear the responsibility of bringing together with the students various internal and external experts both in the technical/professional sphere as well as associations with other academic or cultural institutions. These experts may be called upon in order to develop problem-solving techniques and to contribute original methodologies, applications, or frameworks of design. Each contributor acts as a member of the DSD network, this, naturally becomes an invaluable source of important contacts for the PhD candidates.
