Launching the event, Professor van Schaik's keynote presentation described his international reflective practice research programme. In the programme practitioners acknowledged as innovative examine, before critics and their peers, their own body of work and its impact – and reflect on their ways of working and future directions. For many practitioners, a design approach is implicit and intuitive. But through this programme of reflection and examination, processes become more visible and accessible, and a language emerges to capture them – to the benefit of critics, educators, and the practitioner community. A range of established and up-and-coming UK practitioners responded to the theme by presenting their own recent work to illustrate their design position and the routes they have taken in pursuing innovative practice. The symposium also included examples of action research where designers engage directly with stakeholders to challenge perceptions and to devise creative new solutions in sectors as diverse as healthcare and disaster relief."

The particular programmes, developed over the past 16 years, of a Masters and Doctorate by project through practice are described in this paper, in which an account of the position argued as the basis of the programmes, and of their workings, are recounted. The basic premise lies in the use of reflection as an approach to research in design, and we refer to arguments supporting this as a means of bringing together the theoretical and the practical in research. We discuss the mechanisms and administration of the programmes, and end with some reflections on the programme itself.
