Dear list members,
I just came across this:
"... Call For Papers for the Tenth International Conference on Design Principles and Practices, held in partnership with the Department of Arts and Design at the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 25-27 February 2016. We welcome submissions from a variety of disciplines and perspectives and encourage faculty and research students to jointly submit proposals, discussing design principles and practices through one of the following themes:
2016 Special Focus: Design Transforming Society
The ability of design to promote transformations in society is an issue that deserves investigation. When shaping objects, systems, and services, and while dealing with technologies and materials, design is affecting the way people live, our human relationships, and the landscape. These transformations can be acutely subtle and their effectiveness can depend on continuity of an action, which is perceived only on a long-term basis. In this context, the ultimate goal of design seems to follow innovation in our material and immaterial realm, thus becoming a catalyst capable of making a difference in society and eventually the life of human beings.".
Here is the website:

Since it is completely new to me, and I was not able to find a programme committee list, or a clear understanding of the history or proceedings of past conferences, I wonder if some of the list members have some experiences of this conference series or its publications?
Here is the advisory board:

and here the history of the organization behind the conference series:

Basically, would you recommend to submit a paper to this conference ( from a scholarly point of view.... who wouldn't want to go to Rio in February :D )?
cheers, Kari-Hans
