A European conference organised by Cumulus, the European Association of Universities and Colleges of Art, Design and Media, in association with L'Ecole de Design Nantes Atlantique.

Sustainable development,the environment, a trade balance between the North and South, an inherent respect for each person, the smoothing out of existing inequalities. The designer as a professional as well as inventor has a lot of pertinent and efficient remarks to make concerning these burning questions. "ETHICS : Design, Ethics and Humanism" will take stock of existing research as well as the experience accumulated and results achieved in various design fields.

Six sub themes are planned to cover a wide range of concerns:
Eco design and sustainable development
Design for All and inclusive conception
Supportive economy and fair trade
De-industrialisation, design and employment
Companies and business ethics
Ethics and the teaching of design

A number of papers have been selected for the sessions of the conference. Authors should check the « Guidelines & schedule » for further information about full papers.
