The contributors address a range of models and approaches to practice-based research consider relationships between industry and academia researchers and designers discuss initiatives to support students and faculty during the research process and explore how students' experiences of undertaking practice-based research has impacted their future design and research practice. The text is illustrated throughout with case study examples by authors who have set up taught or undertaken practice-based design research in a range of national and institutional contexts.
