> DRS2016 Design + Research + Society | Future Focused Thinking
>
> 50th Anniversary International Design Research Society Conference
>
> 27-30 June 2016, Brighton, UK
>
>
> DETAILED CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
>
> Over the past 50 years design research has established a firm basis for
> our understanding of design. For DRS2016 we invite you to join us in
> considering how design research can help us address the problems we face
> now and the challenges that lie ahead.
>
> Whatever your field of design research we encourage you to participate, to
> show the true diversity of our subject area, and to help us build a
> conference formed and shaped by the people that come.
>
> DRS2016 is hosted by the University of Brighton in the UK, in association
> with the Royal College of Art and Imperial College, London (where the very
> first meeting of the Design Research Society was held in 1966). The
> conference week will give you the chance to experience the energy and
> creativity of the dynamic city of Brighton.
>
>
> CALL FOR PAPERS
>
> DRS2016 invites new and challenging paper submissions from any area or
> discipline of design research.  We embrace research looking at and using
> design in the widest possible sense with interdisciplinary work and work
> responding to the conference themes particularly encouraged.
>
>
> CENTRAL THEMES FOR DRS2016
>
> (1) Future-Focused Thinking:
>
> Papers, case studies, or designs that anticipate developments in one or
> more of the three areas of Design, Research and Society.
>
> (2) Papers critically engaging with our key conference questions:
>
> > How can design research help frame and address the societal problems
> that face us?
> > How can design research be a creative and active force for rethinking
> ideas about Design?
> > How can design research shape our lives in more responsible, meaningful,
> and open ways?
>
> (3) 50 Years of Design Research:
>
> Papers looking critically at key contributors and contributions over the
> past 50 years of Design Research.
>
>
> THE DRS SPECIAL INTEREST GROUP THEMES
>
> Experiential Knowledge (EKSIG)
> Wellbeing and Happiness (SIGWELL)
> Design Pedagogy (PedSIG)
> Objects, Practices, Experiences, Networks (OPENSIG)
> Inclusive Design (Inclusive SIG)
> Sustainable Design (Sustainability SIG)
> Design for Behaviour Change (Behaviour Change SIG)
> Design Management (DM SIG)

>
>
> SUBMISSION
>
> Papers should be up to 5000 words, including abstracts and references, and
> should adhere to the conference paper submission guidelines, available in
> August on the conference website.
>
> We also seek more experimental submissions (full papers) for design
> research that might, for example, include a textual narrative alongside
> more visually-oriented, time-based, or networked material.  The document
> format should still form the basis of such a submission, with reference to
> large media files made through weblinks.
>
> All submissions must be in the English language.
>
> The online submission system will be open from 1st September 2015 and full
> papers must be submitted by 9th November 2015.
>
> **IMPORTANT: THERE WILL BE NO EXTENSIONS TO THIS DEADLINE**
>
> Review for DRS2016 is by full papers only.
>
>
> ADDITIONAL THEME SESSIONS
>
> To capitalize on emerging research networks, as well as existing networks
> not already covered by SIG areas, we welcome proposals for further theme
> sessions of full papers related to any area of design research.  These
> sessions will be managed individually by sub-chairs as part of the general
> paper submission and final programme.  Sub-chairs will be responsible for
> identifying and allocating reviewers and curating conference sessions.
>
> Proposals should consist of a title, a proposed sub-chair for the session,
> a list of 2-3 key people who will oversee the review process for theme
> submissions, a theme context and outline (up to 250 words), and a small
> number of references to indicate theme scope.
>
> To allow us to publicize additional themes prior to the full-paper
> deadline, theme session proposals should be submitted to [log in to unmask]
> on or before the deadline of July 27th 2015.
>
> Theme session proposals will be reviewed by a subset of the programme
> committee with sub-chairs informed of outcomes within two weeks of the
> deadline.  Successful proposals will be publicized on the website as part
> of the conference call.
>
> Submissions for successful theme sessions will take place via the online
> submission system along with standard paper submissions.
>
>
> CONVERSATIONS AND EXPERIMENTAL SESSIONS
>
> Submissions for structured discussions, experimental sessions and workshop
> formats that advance conversation around emergent forms of design research
> will form part of DRS2016.  As with DRS2014 these sessions have been
> conceived as alternatives to the traditional paper/presentation format to
> provide innovative venues for project-based research and work that is not
> easily captured or conveyed by the scholarly paper.  Further details about
> the submission of proposals for conversations and experimental sessions
> will follow in the coming months with deadlines in February 2016.
>
>
> PHD BY DESIGN EVENT
>
> PhD By Design will hold a one-day event at DRS2016 to vocalise, discuss
> and work through some of the many issues of conducting a practice-based PhD
> in Design. This event will be made up of informal presentations of work as
> an opportunity to explore what the future holds for practice-based PhDs. It
> will bring together designers undertaking practice-based doctoral research,
> as well as supervisors, MRes students, and MPhil students within and
> outwith Design Departments. On the day we will produce an Instant Journal
> documenting discussions and outcomes and available during the conference.
>
> Contact details and Information about past events is available at:
> www.phdbydesign.com
>
> PhD by Design registration details will be available in November 2015.

> PEER REVIEW
>
> This is a general design research conference and it is expected that a
> wide variety of work and projects will be reported. Irrespective of the
> range and stage of your research, we expect the highest standards of
> scholarship and clarity in terms of establishing context, explicating
> methods of inquiry, and reporting results. Papers will be selected through
> a double blind review process conducted by an international review panel.
>
> Our aim is to increase the quality of peer reviewing for DRS2016.  The
> review process for each sub-theme of the conference will be managed
> separately by a sub-chair who will oversee the peer review process of
> around 20 submissions.  This will involve allocating reviewers, resolving
> any conflicts, and making recommendations to the overall DRS2016 review
> committee.  Authors will have an opportunity to evaluate the reviews they
> receive, which sub-chairs will factor into making their final
> recommendations.
>
>
> CONFERENCE PRESENTATION AND PROCEEDINGS
>
> Authors of accepted papers are expected to attend and present their work
> at the conference in one of a number of formats.  Papers of exceptional
> quality (as judged by reviewers) will be presented with discussants and
> where appropriate papers may be accepted as posters and allocated to
> sessions with shorter time slots.
>
> All accepted papers will be published in the online conference proceedings
> and be available to view approximately one month before the beginning of
> the conference.  This is intended to stimulate debate prior to the
> conference and help to facilitate deeper interaction during the conference.
