Hello everybody !

A small post to introduce myself.

I would like first to thank Minka, Fabian & Vanja for this initiative.

Organising the emergence of this network of our young discipline is great!

I had the chance to take part of such a network (for young earth scientists, even if I'm not). It gives lot of value to everyone. Hope SD will live such moments.

About me:

I come from Innovation management. My research was first focus on management of…

Currently working on new developments for sdnext with Vanja & Fabian in Melbourne, Australia.  

Hi Guys,

In the last couple of month we produced some documents and ideas in regards to our mission statement and purpose of this community.

We would like to share these articles with you since we hope to engage you more in the entire process to develop this network.

Please feel free to discuss, argue and comment on the documents so that we can improve and work together. …

Hi all - great to see lots of new faces here! I just did a resort of all the post-its we created in the ServDes workshop to see which topics we discussed and how popular they were. This should be able to help us in starting the first discussions on specific topics. It ended up something like this:

We will come back to you with more details on the topics and…

Do you know this: http://www.servicedesignresearch.com/whats-sdr/?

Some of you will, as I see your profiles up there.. Reading through their explanation I can't help but think that the aim of both platforms/networks is very similar! Maybe this one is more specifically aimed at PhD-questions and challenges, but there seems to be a lot of overlap content-wise.

Next to  this there are several other quite active online…

Sorry guys about having this approval of membership. 
It comes with the ning settings and can't be turned off in this mode. This doesn't make it exclusive, just spoils time a bit ... But we will try first to be fast in accepting you and second to change this!

How is being a PhD student?

Are there maybe guidelines to follow? 

How to do a painless PhD?

Is there a list of potential supervisors (including research interests)?
- If not, let's start one!

I would like to know a good faculty opponent for my PhD defence.
- Anyone knows anyone? 

Who is working with research-through-design methodology in service design related research?

Who is working on which topic and how to get in contact?

How to find sparring partners, friendly reviewers & potential co-authors? 

Where are good service design papers published?

What are the best service design research papers from the best 5 years? 

In which papers or conferences do you publish? 
- And what are their requirements? 

Where in the www can good papers be found?

...!

Here is the platform for service design PhD students to connect, share and discuss.
Have fun! – and create it as you like!!
