IMPORTANT DATES
- April 27: submissions due
- May 8: participants notified
- May 21: final programme announced
- June 29 – July 2: MEND*RS 1st Mending Research Symposium
**MERZ MEND*RS is a Mending Research Symposium <http://mendrs.net/> at the
Merzbarn <http://www.merzbarn.net/elterwatermerzba.html> in the Lake
District, the first ever large-scale gathering dedicated to mending in the
UK. MERZ MEND*RS is the first in a series of events, publications and
activist projects around mending. Its objective is to map the state of the
art, devise a critical agenda for mending research and to disseminate and
promote mending practices and enterprises on a local, national and
ultimately global level.
This informal, hands-on event will bring together mending practitioners,
theorists, entrepreneurs and activists in the inspirational and germane
setting of Kurt Schwitters’ Merzbarn. MEND*RS is an activist project to
promote practices and discourses of mending within and beyond the academic
establishment. Its aim is to maximise the social impact of mending research
and to reinvigorate mending cultures in everyday life. MEND*RS’ aim is to
build a mending network to unite practitioners of a marginal, disparate,
often domestic activity with designers, craftspeople, small businesses,
social enterprises, environmental and social wellbeing groups, local
residents and researchers operating across diverse disciplines.
The Inaugural MEND*RS Workshop will be a combination of discussion and
activities. In order to engage with both scholars and practitioners of
mending, we are issuing a *call for participation*. We invite applications
from anyone keen to participate in discussion, hands-on activities and the
promotion of the MEND*RS network.
*Submissions may take the form of a traditional academic paper, an
interactive presentation, a position paper, a short film, a poster, or
other innovative forms of presentation such as art or audio installation.
Oral/film presentations will be allotted a maximum of 20 minutes. *Submissions
may come from any academic discipline or professional background – our only
stipulation is that the content should directly engage with the aims of
MEND*RS and the aspirations of the MEND*RS manifesto. Some suggested
topics/themes can be found on the MEND*RS website under ‘Call for
Participation’.

The Design Management Institute is pleased to announce that it is
soliciting submissions for an academic conference to be held August 8-9,
2012 in Boston, Massachusetts.
Our goal is to create an inclusive conversation among academics from a
variety of disciplines including business (organizational behavior,
strategy, marketing, and operations) and design management (design
strategy, product design, brand identity, communications, interactive
design, user experience, architecture, and environmental design) to examine
the ways in which design thinking can inform innovation currently and in
the future. We aim to lay the groundwork to build a scholarly community and
advance the state of the art in design management research, theory, and
practice, and produce a significant contribution to the field through the
paper presentations, conference proceedings and producing a special issue
of the *Design Management Journal*.

ICoRD’13 is the fourth in a series of conferences intended to be held every
two years in India to bring together the international community from
diverse areas of design practice, teaching and research, to: showcase
cutting edge research about design to the stakeholders; aid the ogoing
process of developing and extending the collective vision through emerging
research challenges and questions; and provide a platform for interaction,
collaboration and development of the community in order for it to take up
the challenges to realize the vision. The conference is intended for all
stakeholders of design, and in particular for its practitioners,
researchers, teachers and students. The theme for ICoRD’13 is Global
Product Development.

HAID 2012: 7th Intl Workshop on Haptic and Audio Interaction Design (Aug
2012, Sweden)<http://designcalls.wordpress.com/2012/03/13/haid-2012-7th-intl-workshop-on-haptic-and-audio-interaction-design-aug-2012-sweden/>
MARCH 13, 2012
Location: Lund, Sweden
Dates: 23-24 August 2012
Website: http://www.haid.ws
Deadline for submissions: 30 April 2012
The combination of haptic and audio for interaction design is a challenging
research area, and we invite researchers and practitioners interested in
these non-visual modalities to come to HAID to exchange designs and
research findings. This year’s HAID has a particular (but not exclusive)
focus on the mobile setting – while on the move the haptic and audio
combination has great (but sadly under-exploited) potential. More
non-visual interaction designs will make applications and devices easier to
user for everyone.
We invite contributions on the appropriate use of haptics and audio in
interaction design: how do we design effectively for mobile interaction?
How can we design effective haptic, audio and multimodal interfaces? In
what new application areas can we apply these techniques? Are there design
methods that are useful? Or evaluation techniques that are particularly
appropriate? We also welcome artistic exhibits and commercial design cases
for our exhibition.
