"We don&t need to talk about what we can do, we need think about what we should do. And that&s the role of the designer, because they might be the only person in the room who&s got that imagination, that capability to think beyond it." Richard Seymour
During two days UID pulsated of student presentations, parties, mingling, happenings and the excellent degree exhibition.
Designers and industry representatives from all over the world gathered to take part of the work of the graduating students.

UID&11 was also an important arena for companies to find future co-workers. The recurrent element where companies review student portfolios was extremely popular this year - more than 30 companies asked to meet students from the various programmes, to recruit them for internships or employment. Many industry representatives also made short corporate presentations about their design activities. Among them were Bosch Design, BMW, Atlas Copco and Epsilon.
