the DuPont engineering polymers branch of the worldwide renowned chemical services & products manufacturer DuPont is still encouraging design and engineering students to participate in their international design competition 2003/04. this year’s theme is: ‘comfort and functionality at home – innovative applications of engineering polymers for improved comfort and functionality.’ the competition is endowed with a total prize money of more than euro 10.000!
the DuPont imagineering design competition was established to encourage young engineers and designers to find new and innovative applications for engineering polymers and to emphasise the connection between creativity and technology that will become part of our lives tomorrow.
for the 2003-2004 competition, students and recently graduated designers throughout europe, middle east, africa and asia (china, hong-kong and japan) are invited to provide a ‘new scope’ on how certain activities at the heart of our habitat could be carried out better, to provide greater comfort or make them more practical.
“this should be done through the design of a new product or part of a product, or a service – or the re-design of existing products or services (including furnishing and equipment). the project, or at least one of its essential parts, has to integrate DuPont engineering polymers and emphasis must be put on the specific properties of the polymer(s) used.”
for more information about the competition have a look at their microsite http://www.dupont-imagineering.com. you’ll find all necessary information in 5 languages there.
