CALL:
Although ‘action through doing’ is embedded within the DNA of Design Thinking, the design community – or any other community – cannot single-handedly take on the complex social and environmental challenges that face today’s local and global communities. The urgency of these challenges calls for a collaborative approach that ranges from the design community to social services, suppliers, manufacturers, brands, organisations, political institutions, and not least users. The knowledge field of design can and should contribute with particular insight and thus complement other knowledge fields (Cross, 1982). Yet, designers struggle on many levels to gain influence on the decision-making processes. Therefore, in order to obtain the necessary societal impact, it is of paramount importance that we rethink design-doing. The question is: How do we REDO design education, design practice, and design research so that our knowledge comes to have an actual effect on how we live; from the micro level of the domestic to the macro level of politics? With the theme “REDO”, the 2017 conference wishes to discuss and share ways of REDOing for IMPACT by professionals and academic researchers, exploring the theme in the design disciplines and beyond. The aim is to playfully inspire, challenge and develop the role, relevance and scope of design, art and media in a global world with sustainability for people, planet and profit in mind.
CONTRIBUTIONS:
In order to open our forum to voices of academia and others, we welcome full papers and short papers as well as short films that touch upon the overall theme of the conference, and which explore exemplary and imaginative ways of REDOing. We are particularly interested in projects that develop, explore, investigate and generate new knowledge within the themes listed below. All contributions must contain clear examples of design, design thinking, and design research as drivers for REDOing. Authors must state which theme they are addressing.
What do we wish to REDO?
This theme calls for exemplary projects that point to areas in which working with design can create an impact, or visions for ways in which the design community might be able to show ways of taking the lead in solving major problems.
How and with whom do we REDO?
This theme calls for project examples that cut across research, teaching, organisations, companies, or cultural borders. It calls for exemplary suggestions for how to bridge the gap between the design community and industry, social services, politics, cultural differences, etc. Areas in which working with outsiders of one’s own field or context might contribute to solving complex challenges.
How do we teach students to REDO?
This theme calls for exemplary projects or teaching modules that illustrate ways in which design education can push for students to approach challenges, facilitate solutions together with collaborate partners, address gaps between consumption and production in the area of design, or other challenges.
SUBMISSIONS FOR THE MAIN CONFERENCE:
All papers will undergo double blind peer review. All accepted presentations will be published with ISBN number by the Cumulus Association in the conference proceedings. Deadline for submission: 1 February 2017 Submission should contain one of the below:

SUBMISSIONS FOR THE ONE-DAY PHD TRACK:
All papers will undergo double blind peer review. Participants will be awarded 1 ECTS point. We ask all applicants to submit: One short paper up to 2,000 words excluding references, including one image of your work
Deadline for submission: 1 February 2017, Notification to authors: 3 April 2017, Final submission deadline: 1 May 2017
The PhD track aims to discuss and articulate PhD research through or by design. The contributions for the PhD track should seek to address the overall theme of the conference and gives an opportunity to present work and discuss the diverse aspects of what it means to do a PhD in Design according to the theme REDO. The aim of the event is to vocalise, discuss and work through different ways of REDOing conducted in a PhD in design, and to explore how these are re-shaping the field of design. It will bring together PhD students as well as supervisors and senior researchers to explore the many aspects of knowledge production within and across academic institutions in a collaborative approach. This event will provide a forum for early career researchers. We are particularly interested in PhD projects that develop, explore, investigate and generate new knowledge within the three themes listed in the call.
We look forward to receive your contribution!
