Professionals not only need research skills to understand issues, but also need design skills to develop plans what to do. As Herbert Simon observed “everyone designs who devises courses of action aimed at changing existing situations into preferred ones”. It implies that not only students who aim to become professional designers need to be trained in design, but also professionals who design.Whereas for professional designers, such as architects, product-, fashion- and multimedia designers their core identity and expertise is design, for professionals who design it is a merely tool or methodology to achieve a goal, often naming it ‘design thinking’. Consider communication specialists, doctors, policymakers or entrepreneurs. In Dutch, this would be about the difference between the ‘professionele ontwerper’ versus the ‘ontwerpende professional’.This event is part of NADR’s 2026 knowledge cycle. During this session we will not search for quick solutions — instead, we will refine and deepen the questions that matter most.Event DetailsDate: Monday, 19 October 2026Time: 13:00 – 17:00Location: Microlab (Skybar), Kastanjelaan 400, EindhovenFormat: Presentations, interactive workshop, collective synthesis, and networkingWho should attend?Authors of accepted NADR 2026 contributions (at least one author per contribution is required)Designers, researchers, and partners interested in the question: If Everybody Designs, What Makes a Designer?Why join?Hear diverse perspectives on how the field of design and the focus of the professional designer versus the professional that designs is evolving.Contribute your own expertise in a collaborative workshop formatThis event is supported by Taskforce for Applied Research SIA as part of the Research & Impact Pilot. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/602083a0-c70a-11f1-b689-9594e1faa8b2-rimg-w1200-h221-dc486848-gmir.png - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/eindhoven/nadr-2026-if-everybody-designs-what-makes-a-designer/100001999115633675 - **Event Categories**: art, workshops, literary-art, business - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 4 hours - Location: Microlab Eindhoven Strijp-S - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: EUR ## Event venue details - **city**: Eindhoven - **state**: NB - **country**: Netherlands - **location**: Microlab Eindhoven Strijp-S - **lat**: 51.4447222 - **long**: 5.4597222 - **full address**: Microlab Eindhoven Strijp-S, 400 Kastanjelaan, Eindhoven, Netherlands ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: NADR 2026 - If Everybody Designs, What Makes a Designer? - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/f48d83e6630001717411539f0d56408cd04b3385544e0ec6d928aade9e49e80d-rimg-w1200-h800-dc080808-gmir.jpg?v=1787940086 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is NADR 2026 - If Everybody Designs, What Makes a Designer? being held? - **A:** NADR 2026 - If Everybody Designs, What Makes a Designer? takes place on Mon, 19 Oct, 2026 at 01:00 pm to Mon, 19 Oct, 2026 at 05:00 pm at Microlab Eindhoven Strijp-S, 400 Kastanjelaan, Eindhoven, Netherlands. - **Q**: Who is organizing NADR 2026 - If Everybody Designs, What Makes a Designer?? - **A:** NADR 2026 - If Everybody Designs, What Makes a Designer? is organized by Network Applied Design Research. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
