To all our Fixperts friends in over 50 universities, in more than 20 countries, please join! The Royal College of Art Helen Hamlyn Fixperts Award, is an acknowledgment of the incredible work carried out by Fixperts all around the world. The prestigious award champions human-centred design across all disciplines and is open to all Fixperts projects completed with a film in the last 18-months.
The Helen Hamlyn judging panel will be looking at each project for the following criteria – the relationship with the Fix Partner, ingenuity of the solution and the quality of the storytelling. Above all they will be looking for extraordinary projects which positively impact on the Fix Partners daily life with a focus on health, access, the ageing community and social benefit. The Helen Hamlyn Centre for Design is a global leader in Inclusive Design, Design Thinking and Creative Leadership, working with government, business, academia and the third sector.
