Service Design Research UK

服务设计研究英国（SDR UK）旨在创建一个英国研究网络，在一个新兴的设计领域，即服务设计。这个领域有一个最近的历史和一个不断增长的，但仍然小而分散的研究社区，迫切需要支持和可见性来巩固其知识背景并增强其潜在影响。服务业代表了英国经济的重要组成部分，如果我们考虑到它们如何影响我们组织、移动、工作、学习或照顾我们的健康和家庭的方式，那么服务业可以在我们的社会中发挥变革性作用。设计引入了一种更加以人为本和创造性的服务创新方法，这对于提供更有效和新颖的解决方案至关重要，这些解决方案有可能应对当代挑战。英国是服务设计发展的领导者，主要由设计从业者（Engine, Livework, Thinkpublic, Participle， Snook等）和设计委员会，设计威尔士，Demos， Young基金会，NHS创新与改进研究所等组织推动。在这种情况下，学术界对服务设计作为一门研究和实践学科的发展的贡献是薄弱和分散的。该网络的目标是：1；识别，比较并将当前的研究工作映射到英国的服务设计；2 .增加英国对服务设计作为一个实践和研究领域的理解和需求；3 .确定该领域的研究和知识差距，为博士研究和未来的研究项目合作和想法提供信息；提高英国特别提款权在国内和国际上的知名度和连通性。该研究网络将为SDR英国的新兴研究界创造机会，围绕三个主要主题进行融合：1)服务设计促进创新；2)社会公益服务设计；3)可持续性服务设计。三个专题研讨会将汇集学者、设计师、公共和私营部门组织以及相关机构，收集和绘制迄今为止所做的研究工作，讨论项目范例，分享经验，确定研究差距和未来的研究主题。讲习班的成果将在一个专门的在线平台上提供，在这个平台上出现的研究问题将用于通知一个在线论坛。特别提款权网站将与现有的国家和国际倡议以及与服务研究和创新主题有关的在线社区联系起来。国际服务设计与创新（ServdDes）会议将于2014年4月在兰开斯特大学举行，届时将举办最后的公开活动，展示SDR英国的成果，并围绕新出现的研究主题组织讨论桌，为未来可能的研究合作提供跳板。

Service Design Research UK (SDR UK) aims to create a UK research network in an emerging field in Design that is Service Design. This field has a recent history and a growing, but still small and dispersed, research community that strongly needs support and visibility to consolidate its knowledge background and enhance its potential impact. Services represent a significant part of the UK economy and can have a transformational role in our society, if we think of how they affect the way we organize, move, work, study or take care of our health and family. Design introduces a more people-centred and creative approach to service innovation, which is critical to delivering more effective and novel solutions that have the potential to tackle contemporary challenges.The UK is a leader in the development of Service Design, mainly driven by design practitioners (Engine, Livework, Thinkpublic, Participle, Snook, etc.) and organizations such as the Design Council, Design Wales, Demos, Young Foundation, NHS Institute for Innovation and Improvement. In this scenario the academic contribution to the development of Service Design as a subject of research and practice has been instead weak and dispersed. This network aims to: 1. Identify, compare and map current research work into Service Design in UK;2. Increase understanding of and demand for Service Design as a practice and research field in UK;3. Identify research and knowledge gaps in the field to inform PhD studies and future research projects collaborations and ideas;4. Increase visibility and connectivity of SDR UK nationally and internationally.The research network will create the opportunities, for the SDR UK's emerging research community, to converge around three main themes: 1) Service Design for Innovation; 2) Service Design for Social Good; 3) Service Design for Sustainability. Three thematic workshops will bring together academics, designers, public and private sector organizations and relevant institutions to collect and map the research work done till now, discuss project exemplars, share experiences and identify research gaps and future research themes. The workshops outcomes will be made available on a dedicated on-line platform, where the emerged research questions will be used to inform an on-line forum. SDR website will be linked with existing national and international initiatives and on-line communities related to the topics of service research and innovation. The international Service Design and Innovation (ServdDes) conference to be held at Lancaster University in April 2014, will host a final public event to present SDR UK results and to organize discussion tables around the emerged research themes to springboard possible future research collaborations.
