We would like to announce a call for papers for the 11th conference of the European Academy of Design, www.europeanacademyofdesign.org, to be held in Paris Descartes University Institute of Psychology on April 17-19th, 2015.
The theme of the conference is the value of design research.
Design today is increasingly being recognized as creating value – whether for cultural and collective intelligence, for embedding new technology into new behaviours, for fostering or acting as a force for change in societies and for companies confronted with complex problems. This value is based on design research within a large variety of settings and scientific backgrounds.
The gestalt of the conference is “the whole is more than just the sum of its parts”. Taking this principle to heart, the conference will bring together all stakeholders in design research and design process innovation. University labs, design schools, and R&D departments from industries have been invited.
The conference is organized around 4 meta-themes divided into 26 tracks:
Excellence in design research
Methodology for design research
Epistemology of design
Design research and creativity
The future of design research and publishing in peer-reviewed journals
Design research and design education
Interdisciplinarity in the innovation process

Design research & innovation in luxury industries
Design research & arts and crafts
Design research in innovation management: emotion, Kansei engineering

Submissions
Abstracts
Abstracts should specify the research question, give bibliographical references, mention the research methodology, the findings and describe the objective in terms of value.
Abstracts should be less than 500 words in length. They summarize the paper, and should not provide any identifying information about the author(s).
Workshops
Some tracks will be best illustrated through a workshop experience so we welcome ideas on workshops during or before the conference.
Full papers
All papers will be double-blind peer-reviewed.
Full papers should be between 3000–5000 words in length. We welcome any research approach or type of paper including conceptual, empirical and critical literature reviews. However, we expect high standards of scholarship within the papers in terms of establishing the theoretical context, explaining the methods of inquiry, and reporting results that may aid other researchers.
Best papers will be published in a Special issue of Design Journal.
