pAalto University and the Design Factory in Helsinki are producing a a href=”http://trac.sme-ccppd.org/SID/wiki/SIDTrainingSchoolProductSoundDesign201008″summer workshop on Product Sound Design/a. The brief is awesome, aimed at the future of interactive sound in product design:/p

blockquoteFuture products will rely on our natural capabilities of continuous and physical interaction. Moreover, for the best experience in their use, they need to stimulate, but not saturate, all our senses. Our sense of hearing is quite advanced; yet only a few product developers, engineers, marketing teams, and designers know how to make use of it properly. The COST-SID action, over the years, has developed a growing body of methods, tools, and techniques to get you started.

pOur mission in this summer school is to educate the future product design and development team members with a specific competence on interactive sound. The training school is strategically positioned as a first step in a longer research and training on the integration of SID product sound design methods with Product Design and Development, as thought at the Aalto University and MIT, for example. /blockquote/p

pThe best part: if you are accepted, you not only don’t have to pay a registration fee, but, if you are from outside of Finland, you get a travel stipend of 600 EU to cover your costs of travel and accommodation. There are some eligibility restrictions; seems like you should be either a Masters or PhD student to apply:/p

blockquoteThe target participants are 16-20 students in the last year of masters studies, or first two years of PhD studies in design, engineering, or economics. They will be selected by the relevance of their studies or research to the product sound design. We expect about half of the trainees to be Aalto students./blockquote

pWe can tell this is going to be a competitive one, a href=”http://trac.sme-ccppd.org/SID/wiki/SIDTrainingSchoolProductSoundDesign201008″so start working on your applications/a! /pa href=”http://www.core77.com/blog/events/product_sound_design_workshop_august_23-26_helsinki__16725.asp”(more…)/a
