Dear Colleagues,
The ServDes conference committee welcomes proposals to host the Service
Design and Service Innovation conference, ServDes.2025. This will be the
9th edition of the biannual ServDes conference, following Oslo (2009),
Linköping (2010), Helsinki (2012), Lancaster (2014), Copenhagen (2016),
Milan (2018), Melbourne (2021) and Rio de Janeiro (2023).
ServDes is the premier research conference for exchanging knowledge within
service design and service innovation studies. It is a biannual conference
with the aim of bringing researchers and practitioners together to discuss,
share and evolve the emerging discipline of Service Design, and
design-related service innovation. Proceedings from the conference are
published open and online, and their availability for readers and indexers
is guaranteed by Linköping University Electronic Press.
We welcome applications from institutions with a proven history of research
and/or education in or related to this field and a relatively active local
environment to deepen understandings and practices of Service Design.
*Proposal*
Your proposal should answer some basic questions, to be part of the
selection process, and be around 2000 words long:

accessibility (can delegates easily get to the conference venue?)
*Who: *who is the organising committee (Is there the required capacity and
expertise? what are the ongoing and past topic-related projects,
publications, or education activities?) including a documented commitment
from a local research group/team and the host institution (Is there the
required commitment and support?)
*What: *what is the proposed theme of the conference (How is it relevant
for the development of the field and ongoing conference debate?), any idea
for its possible format and publication options beyond the proceedings, and
potential social program
*Why: *why do you want to organize the conference (What is the interest in
relationship to service design and service innovation?)
*When:* when will the conference be held, and how does those dates fit with
other conferences and deadlines in 2024-5 (does the timing fit?)
*How: *information on facilities, accommodation and supporting services
(conference services, transport, IT, etc.) (does the location has all the
necessary facilities and resources?)
*How much:* costs, estimated number of participants and possible conference
fee (Is it sustainable and accessible?) plans for sponsorship.
