DRS2016 | Design + Research + Society | Future-focused Thinking 50th Anniversary International Design Research Society Conference 27–30 June 2016, Brighton, UK **** Last two weeks before full paper deadline: 9th November 2015 **** There are still two weeks to go before the full paper deadline for DRS2016 - plenty of time to finish all those difficult, not-quite-finished sections of your research paper. Don't leave it all to the last minute though - you can register with our online submission system<https://www.conftool.pro/drs2016/> and upload a draft version of your paper, before finally pressing the button before the 9th November deadline. If you think you might be too late for a full paper, or just want to experiment with a different format for participation, we'll shortly be announcing detailed Calls for Conversations and Workshops. We invite 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. Full papers can be submitted, using the paper template<http://www.drs2016.org/cfp/>, either to the Open Call or to one of the Additional Themes or Special Interest Groups listed below. DRS2016 OPEN CALL Future-Focused Thinking: Papers, case studies, or designs that anticipate developments in one or more of the three areas of Design, Research and Society. 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? 50 Years of Design Research: Papers looking critically at key contributors and contributions over the past 50 years of Design Research.
