A decade ago, print wasdominant in information and communication. However, media ismore diversified now. Print is no longer the obvious first choice whenchoosing a means for communication.In the first part of the conference, different aspects of futuremedia developments and the role of print in the media society islooked into. Since print is only one of several options to communicatenowadays, the question arises, “Is it evident that the aim ofprint is to print information as images and text or are there anyother areas where print can be used as a communicator in a widermeaning?”In order to generate new ideas for the utilisation of print, in thesecond part of the conference, there will be sessions incorporatingpresentations and panel discussions. The contributors will beresearchers, scientists and businessmen from various fields, e.g.function and materials design, science etc. They are all involved increating a future framework for new applications of print.The two day event, including the conference and workshops,will not only provide rich opportunities for the exchange of ideasand thoughts about the future role of print, but it will also providethe option of visiting Grafex 2005, a graphic arts exhibition.•FUTUREPRINTFuture Role of Print and Media Conference, Stockholm, 20-21 September, 2005CONTACT: futurerole@stfi.seCurrent awareness from STFI-Packforsk Beyond #2/2005 | 7
