“Creativity is possible in all areas of human activity, including the arts, sciences, at work, at play and in all other areas of daily life. All people have creative abilities and we all have them differently. When individuals find their creative strengths, it can have an enormous impact on self-esteem and on overall achievement.”
- Robinson, K. et al (1999) All our futures: Creativity, Culture and Education, Report to the National Advisory Committee on Creative and Cultural Education

The 2010 cltad international conference will focus on curriculum design in art and design Higher Education meeting the challenges of changing times and demands. As old discipline structures are eroded, new liaisons are emerging. On one hand, art and design reach out and connect with other disciplines, influencing all aspects of society and how we live. On the other hand, creativity, which we have perhaps regarded as the prerogative of art and design, is increasingly being recognised as significant and central in every discipline. Building on the 2008 conference the organisers want to explore where boundaries to disciplinary uniqueness are becoming blurred and where collaborations between the disciplines are being built, sometimes by intent and occasionally by chance.

They are interested in contributions:

* that challenge the concept of discipline
* those that reinforce or extend existing notions of discipline

* from interdisciplinary courses

* from multidisciplinary courses

* from student–led programmes

* from joint programmes of study

* that enable students to have skills in multiple competences
* from single curriculum programmes
* from new courses with an industrial focus
* evaluating the impact of widening participation on curriculum
* evaluating the impact of interdisciplinarity on assessment
