This event invites practitioners working across design and public decision-making, as well as those new to the field to surface insights, name tensions and map the conditions shaping practice today.

Policy design is the deliberate, strategic process of defining what change is needed and how to make it happen. Where design meets public decision-making, the consequences reverberate through systems, institutions, and lives.

The RMIT School of Design aims to advance this field by bringing together practitioners, deepening emerging practice and building conditions for policy design to move with consequence. This work spans governance, innovation and social change. This work is undertaken in collaboration with existing networks and practitioners in the field.

The session includes:

  • A panel presenting guiding principles drawn from both strong and weak signals shaping contemporary practice.
  • Discussions in which participants self-select areas of interest to interrogate, extend and challenge.
  • Documentation of discussion outcomes in a white paper and video.
