Jinan is situated at the northeast of China with over 8 million inhabitants.<br\/><br\/>There are over 2,000 design schools in China. Shandong University of Art &amp; Design (SUAD) is amongst the top ten design schools in China. It has over 7,000 students and close to 700 staff members. The university offers 53 Bachelor\u2019s degree and 20 Master\u2019s degree programmes.

Since 2016, more than 2,000 institutions have been delivering design programmes. Every year more than 540,000 students enroll into design programmes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The number of students studying design and related majors in the school now exceeds 2 million. The design discipline has become the most prominent one in more than 140 first-level disciplines and more than 90 undergraduate majors in China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Professor Xu, a scholar in design education, stated that under the current economic and social development situation in China, the scale of design education will increase in the future. Thus, design researcher educators will have a profound impact on the future of China&#8217;s design discipline development. Especially now that countries around the world generally emphasize the innovation-driven. Therefore, the discipline of design should be based on the needs of social development and conceive a knowledge prospect that is forward-looking and realistically connected in the future. This is a key issue that cannot be avoided by design education today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To address the outlined context, we would like to propose the following 2021 conference theme: <strong>Engaging with Challenges in Design Education<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5th International Conference for Design Education Researchers | 2019 <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/id.metu.edu.tr\/en\/drslxd19-drs-learn-x-design-2019\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Fifth International Conference for Design Education Researchers<\/a> was hosted by Middle East Technical University (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.metu.edu.tr\/\">METU<\/a>) Department of Industrial Design between 9\u201312 July 2019.
