We are pleased to announce that the 16th Design Theory WORKSHOP will take place from the 30^th January to 31^st January 2023.   

Our establishment is currently in a work zone for several months (even years). We probably won’t be able to welcome you at Mines Paris - We are currently looking for alternative solutions in Paris downtown, easily reachable from our school. We will keep you informed as soon as possible.

WORKSHOP GOAL:
We welcome contributions in the areas of the Design Theory SIG :  
1)    Design Theory and other disciplines: AI, cognition, engineering sciences, data science, biology, physics...
2)    The value of Design Theory for practitioners
3)   Design Theory and Education 
4)   Design Theory and perception theory: reception and critic of design, identity of objects
5)   Design theory and the economics of design

WORKSHOP ORGANIZATION 
Different types of sessions will be held during the first two days (9am-6pm):
1)    Substantial presentations (45mn-1hour) of ongoing research in the research areas of the SIG
2)    Round tables and /or open discussions on new approaches and emerging issues
3)    Special sessions will be held to facilitate subgroup meetings on special topics or to discuss new research plans that could benefit from the cooperation of several SIG members and lead to new insights and co-publications

Based on the work done during the previous workshops, we will have special parallel sessions to discuss the following four topics:
·      Design theory and creation in philosophy and culture
·      Design theory and Artificial Intelligence
·      Design theory and cognition and psychology
·      Design theory and management

Final program and schedule: SIG Chairmen will compose the final program taking into account suggestions and proposals received from participants. Registration and submission for the workshop is detailed below.
