DAE Lecture Series

Design Academy Eindhoven’s Lecture Series brings leading practitioners from the field of design – as well as practitioners from other disciplines such as art, craft, architecture, curation, education, the humanities and science – to the Academy to share their ideas and practices with the students and public

Everyone is welcome to join the lectures and can sign up for a free ticket via ARTSVP. Follow us on Instagram to get the latest updates @daelectureseries.

HISTORY

The Lecture Series was created in 2018 and the monthly lectures were curated and hosted by the student-led Lecture Series Committee. In 2022, the programme increased its output to an average of 1-2 lectures per month. Speakers are both invited by the student-led Lecture Series Committee, as well as by Ceola Tunstall-Behrens, the Lecture Series Programme Manager. The programme is produced by Carline Zoete, DAE’s Events Producer, and is created in collaboration with other members of the DAE community.

LECTURE SERIES TEAM

The DAE Lecture Series team is formed of the Lecture Series Programme Manager (Ceola Tunstall-Behrens), the DAE Events Producer (Carline Zoete) and the student-led Lecture Series Committee.

The student-led Lecture Series Committee (LSC) is a group of current Bachelor and Master students at DAE. They programme their own series of speakers and co-run the whole Lecture Series (LS) programme along with the LS Programme Manager and Producer.

The committee invites students to share their dream line-up of speakers each academic year via an open submissions system that includes public sign-up sheets posted around the Academy building as well as an open call for suggestions via email. The LSC then creates a shortlist of speakers. Their aim is to identify inspiring speakers from a diverse range of backgrounds and disciplines, to invite new perspectives into the Academy and to create a platform for the sharing of different types of knowledge.

Once the shortlist is confirmed, the committee is responsible for securing the speakers, and works with the LS Programme Manager, Producer and the DAE Communications, Relations and Events department to arrange and publicise the talks. Any student can join the committee - contact us via our Instagram or email lectureseries@designacademy.nl.
