Papers will be classified according to the usual streams that have been adopted in previous ebac.mx conferences. The conference programme and calendar, however, will also be set up in relation to the conference themes, with the aim of having each of the days of the conference being associated to one of the three subthemes:

The Conference will include a special event dedicated to young researchers, the General Meeting of the Design Society, numerous seminars, and therefore it is a unique meeting venue for everyone interested in design and its impact on industry and society.
Tutorials
By tradition, tutorial sessions at ICED conference aim to bring together users and experts in interactive sessions elaborating specific topics. Tutorials will be organised to promote integration of different views, approaches and methods. Tutorial coordinators could invite selected presentations and demonstrations in order to stimulate the debate as well as to propose any format of delivery that inspires interaction. ICED15 welcomes every participant to the Special Event – Tutorial-Style Workshops.
Contact:
The first day of the conference, July 27th, 2015, will be dedicated to workshops organised by the Special Interest Groups of the Design Society and by other conference delegates… To read more click on the title.
- What is design for you?
- What is your vision for the future of design?
- What is your coolest project (past / current / future dream project) that illustrates this vision?
- How will your vision contribute to the future of design research and/or practice?
Aims:
- Set new or challenge established views of design within the community!
- Share opinions and exchange ideas on vital design community topics!
- Meet international young people working in design research and practice!
All ICED15 regular registrants are invited!
Who is interested, please send an email to with your name, affiliation and contact information.
PhD students’ forum
The forum will be a unique opportunity for young researchers and PhD students to discuss their research questions and ideas with experienced researchers, practitioners and R&D managers in order to facilitate their research efforts. The series of grouped presentations will be used to raise the questions and stimulate debate in a round table style.
The Design Society and the Organizing Committee of ICED15 invite young design researchers and designers, including design students, to participate in this discussion on the future of design and to join… To read more click on the title.
