We are proud to announce the 6th edition of the annual event

WHY THE WORLD NEEDS ANTHROPOLOGISTS

a symposium that explores the different applications of anthropology beyond traditional academia.

This year’s edition, entitled Designing the Future, focused on design anthropology, its methods, practical applications, and its potential for framing the future of humanity around the world.

It examined human-centred design and design thinking with emphasis on the value of ethnography in these types of processes and techniques, while acknowledging the opportunities arising from a collaborative approach between anthropology and design. The event brought together researchers, designers, and developers from various domains to ensure an enriched discussion, facilitate collaborations, create innovation momentum, and provided a networking platform for new job opportunities.
