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, focuses on design anthropology, its methods, practical applications, and its potential for framing the future of humanity around the world.

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