For example, CUMULUS Association and DRS Design Pedagogy Special Interest Group are planning to organise a joint international conference in 2013. There are further plans for these two associations to work together. CUMULUS Association and DRS Design Pedagogy Special Interest Group coming together signals the increased importance of re-examining design education in these changing times. The outcome is a symposium that tackles diverse design education issues from a variety of perspectives, both disciplinary and institutional. The authors of these articles come from different disciplinary backgrounds and different countries, including the Netherlands, the UK, France, Switzerland, Finland, and Italy. The revised submitted papers form these symposium proceedings. Then they submitted full papers which were critically double blind reviewed by members of the International Scientific Review Committee. Initially, the invited speakers submitted brief proposals. In order to do this the symposium convenors invited a diverse mix of speakers to explore the symposium's theme. The idea was to bring members from these two societies and strengthen the capacity to enhance the quality of design education through examining how innovation in education is informed by and is informing design research. One of the aims of the symposium was to develop and to establish relationships between CUMULUS and DRS Design Pedagogy Special Interest Group.

We would like to thank to Paris Chamber of Commerce and Industry proving their magnificent building to host this important event. The event was hosted by the Paris Chamber of Commerce and Industry. The Symposium was held under the auspices of the CUMULUS, the International Association of Universities and Colleges of Art, Design and Media and the Design Research Society's Design Pedagogy Special Interest Group.
