Driven by the growing recognition of the importance of design in national innovation, design policy is an emerging subject of research interest. Design policies are 'sets of rules, activities, and processes to support design through the reinforcement of design capabilities at all levels of the policy cycle' by DeEP. Governments in countries where design and innovation are considered core competitive advantage actively seek to implement policies to create encouraging environments for the prosperity of design innovation. Research into design policy in this context will focus on the relevance and effectiveness of government intervention within the design industry. There is an imperative to advance thinking through collaboration and to share experience. Networking and research in this subject has attracted growing investment. However, collaboration with partners outside of the EU is underdeveloped. A fast changing technology base and novel innovation models allows 'underdeveloped' countries to leap-frog conventional development patterns, with significant impact on the global innovation landscape. Each region can no longer consider its innovation policies in isolation. Collaboration with these countries is as important as with EU partners. This is especially relevant in the case of China, one of the biggest trade partners with EU and the largest R&D investor after the US. China now aims to transform its economy away from a reliance on low-skill and resource-intensive manufacturing, and has recognised the necessity of design innovation in achieving structural transformation of industries. However, these policies and their execution remain unclear outside of China and research in this field is still scarce. In the UK, design is viewed as an important and integral dimension of innovation policy. As one of the largest innovation exporters, it is strategically important for the UK's policy makers to gain knowledge of China, thus enabling them to contextualise their relevance to the UK's design industry and economy, and capture opportunities afforded by transformation in China. Moreover, no consideration has been given to how the UK might best develop policies which capitalise on the opportunities. The study aims to develop a UK-China network in design policy to facilitate interactions between UK and China, and between researchers and policy makers. This network is aimed at professional, educational, and government organizations which might contribute to the development and management of initiatives to either grow business or design capability and capacity. Through a series of workshops and seminars, the project will develop partnerships to share good practices in design policy development and to stimulate discussions on this topic. This project will also help build capacity in design policy research, and will inform the future development of the research networking theme. The project will conclude by undertaking a mapping exercise to understand the focuses and principles of policy making in each country; and from this, identify differences and similarities in the approaches taken by each country in supporting design innovation. This will in turn provide the basis for a generic model of design policy which will be disseminated at a final event to be held in London, and will be used to inform national and regional policies supporting the design sector.

随着人们越来越认识到设计在国家创新中的重要性，设计政策成为一个新兴的研究课题。设计策略是DeEP的“一组规则、活动和流程，通过在策略周期的各个级别加强设计能力来支持设计”。设计和创新被视为核心竞争优势的国家的政府积极寻求实施政策，为设计创新的繁荣创造鼓励性环境。在这方面，对设计政策的研究将侧重于政府干预设计行业的相关性和有效性。必须通过合作和分享经验来促进思考。这方面的联网和研究吸引了越来越多的投资。然而，与欧盟以外伙伴的合作还不发达。快速变化的技术基础和新颖的创新模式使“不发达”国家能够跨越传统的发展模式，对全球创新格局产生重大影响。每个区域都不能再孤立地考虑其创新政策。与这些国家的合作与与欧盟伙伴的合作同样重要。中国是欧盟最大的贸易伙伴之一，也是仅次于美国的最大研发投资国。中国现在的目标是将其经济从对低技能和资源密集型制造业的依赖中转变出来，并认识到设计创新在实现产业结构转型方面的必要性。然而，这些政策及其执行在中国以外仍然不清楚，这一领域的研究仍然很少。在英国，设计被视为创新政策的重要组成部分。作为最大的创新出口国之一，对英国的政策制定者来说，了解中国具有重要的战略意义，从而使他们能够将其与英国设计行业和经济联系起来，并抓住中国转型带来的机遇。此外，没有考虑英国如何最好地制定利用这些机会的政策。该研究旨在建立一个中英设计政策网络，以促进英国和中国之间以及研究人员和政策制定者之间的互动。该网络的目标是专业，教育和政府组织，可能有助于发展和管理的举措，无论是增长业务或设计能力和能力。通过一系列讲习班和研讨会，该项目将发展伙伴关系，以分享设计政策制定方面的良好做法，并促进关于这一专题的讨论。该项目还将帮助建设设计政策研究的能力，并将为研究网络主题的未来发展提供信息。该项目最后将进行一次摸底调查，以了解每个国家的政策制定重点和原则;并从中找出每个国家在支持设计创新方面所采取的做法的异同。这反过来将为设计政策的通用模型提供基础，该模型将在伦敦举行的最后一次活动中传播，并将用于为支持设计部门的国家和区域政策提供信息。
