A New Frontiers seminar

WHAT IS NEW FRONTIERS?

Design is central to the creation of a more sustainable society. New design solutions are needed to tackle the social and environmental challenges of the next decade, from climate change to habitat loss to dwindling natural resources.

Led from Manchester, home of the first industrial revolution, NEW FRONTIERS is a new initiative to stimulate and support the rapid development of exciting and truly sustainable design ideas, from architecture to urban design to materials engineering.

WHAT WE DO

NEW FRONTIERS will catalyse action through interdisciplinary knowledge sharing, capacity building and public discourse. It is designed as a programme comprising seminars, scholarships, a participative digital platform and other planned elements, culminating in a prestigious biennial national prize. Judged by leading experts, the NEW FRONTIERS Prize will support new economic goals, raise the profile of many crucial disciplines and ensure the progress of ideas and projects of true quality and value.
