Barbara Predan is the director of the Institute of Design in Slovenia. She discusses her country's national design ecosystem and involvement in design policy. Slovenia lacks design-driven companies and policymakers, as well as companies with clear design strategies, limiting designers' impact. She outlines several Slovenian design policies from 2005 to the present focusing on R&D tax credits, reports on the design sector, and action plans to support industrial design. The main subjects involved in design policy are government funders and policymakers, as well as private sector beneficiaries. Opportunities for design policy include EU initiatives while limits include a lack of design-focused policymakers and dependence on government.
This presentation is part of the results of the workshop "Design Policy in Action - The model of the Luxembourg Design Action Group". The event was organized by the Design Policy Lab at Politecnico di Milano and Luxinnovation, and took place in March 2016 at MUDAM, the Museum of Modern Art in Luxembourg, and was organised as part of Design for Europe. In these presentations shared by ambassadors at the event, they provide a brief overview of their national/regional design policy ecosystem.

New ways of delivering public consultation - LARIA conference presentation 2015Rachel Cope
We believe there is much we can learn from our European neighbours and we will use this session to demonstrate this.
Our session focused on 3 key challenges faced when carrying out consultations:
• Value for money
• Inclusiveness and transparency
• Actionability
Using our international primary and secondary research experience we shared best practice examples from Europe to show how this has helped shape transformational initiatives, demonstrating the sectors that put most faith in the consultation approach.
