July 4, 2012
On July 31, 2012, Eduardo Hipogrosso, Dean of the School of Communication and Design, will deliver a lecture titled “Designer Skills in Digital Environments” as part of the “Third Latin American Congress on Design Education,” organized by the University of Palermo (Buenos Aires). The event will take place from July 30 to August 1.

His presentation addresses the need to focus on the spaces created by digital media, where designers must incorporate communication skills, thereby enhancing not only their professional profile but also equipping them to compete in new professional fields. It consists of the presentation of a programmatic proposal and an invitation to reflect on the relevance of the “Communication + Design” combination as applied to digital content.

During the event, the dean signed an agreement for the School of Design to join the Latin American Network of Creative Entrepreneurs, and the School of Communication and Design joined the Latin American Observatory for Design Research.

The observatory brings together a network of researchers and institutions linked to design, aiming to become an authoritative academic hub in the institutional field of design in Latin America.
