PRESENTATION
In the present context, characterized by uncertainty and complexity, it is up to design to challenge, question and materialize, contributing to the (re)significance of human presence in the world; and life, in its various dimensions.
Design research, as a way creating of a better understanding of the experience of living, and surviving (according to its latin etymon – supervivĕre, meaning to surpass life and obstacles, and go beyond) is also the basis for the activity of design as practice, as well as the creation of new solutions to complex problems that affect the existence, preservation and continuity of people, cultures and places.
Sobrevivência = Supervivĕre = Survival is thus the theme chosen for reflection; from the polysemy of the word to semantic constellation that opens up to the world: the essential and the superfluous; the basic and luxurious; the material and the spiritual.
Sobrevivência, Supervivĕre, Survival, Revivência, Revivĕre, Revival… Beyond, Over, About, For … What kind of living do we want to design?

CALL FOR PAPERS
The UD16 committee calls for the submission of original contributions in the field of research in design, crossing the theory and the practice.
The submission of papers (articles and posters) should be made through the EasyChair system. The Scientific Committee will assess submitted papers in a double blind peer-review system. All proposals accepted will be invited to present their work in an oral communication format.
The papers presented at the meeting will be published in the conference book in digital format with ISBN, available after the meeting or in a date to be set by the Organizing Committee and informed during the event.
Proposals may not contain elements that identify the authors. The EasyChair system will perform the registration of each proposal, which must meet the following parameters (in english):
- Title;
- Abstract (up to 500 words);
- Category (article or poster);
- Keywords (up to 5 keywords);
- Topics (thematic fields);
- Attached file with the article or poster proposal in .pdf.
Article:
- Article body up to 3000 words;
- References formatted in APA standard.
Poster:
This condensed presentation format combines the presentation of a short text and a picture of the ongoing investigation, and should have:
- Title (up to 100 characters including spaces);
- Keywords (up to 5 keywords);
- Research question (between 500 and 2500 characters including spaces);
- Abstract (up to 500 words); Abstracts should be submitted in the EasyChair platform only, not in the poster;
- Body / research (between 500 and 2500 characters including spaces);
- References formatted in APA Standard (up to 5 references);
- Images (total print area: 2130 x 2980 px).

The authors should also fill out the registration form available on this website and make the appropriate payment to validate the registration.
THEMATIC FIELDS
The areas of research suggested to the UD16 call for papers are:
Sobre-Vivência / On Living
Design can provide a fundamental contribution to the development and as a statement of societies, as a collective, and of the citizen, as an individual. Its role addresses both economic and social challenges, and at the same time works as a catalyst for change. Its potencial lies in the conflicts from which it is born or that creates, through a game of opposites resulting sometimes in the redefinition of its own game rules.
This thematic field seeks to look into the living, in order to expose the representativeness of interaction through artifacts, meanings and experiences. It seeks a reflection on the practice of design and its role as an agent of change in social and economic paradigms.
Submitted researches may include multiple approaches to Design in fields such as: the rational and the emotional; experience and practice; individual and/or collective; awareness and unawareness; ethics and morals; ergonomics; normativeness; the infra and the super, while questioning the challenges of the meaning and the value of Design.
Sobrevivência / Survival
Contemporary society faces complex challenges that result from a paradoxical world and a permanent tension between creating and responding to the various and sometimes conflicting needs.
Under this topic we look for a critical reflection that can present solutions to issues such as the survival of the human being and the current society as a space of equality, freedom and conscious expression. Design is understood as a strategic instrument of action in economics and social policies, in public and civil sectors. So what is the role of design in defining the value of the society? What new models can be defined and what are the contributions of the different actors involved? What is its influence on the significance of ethics and social rules?
Submissions are required to illustrate this reflection, presenting case studies or practices and strategies of design contributions for diversity and inclusion, and design for the development of literacy (of the media). The works should approach issues such as collective and uniqueness; collaborative and individualism; rational and limbic consciousness (or the limbic); welfare and subsistence; social activism; the immediate and the permanent; the resistance and the massification; simplicity and complexity, while questioning what are the roles of Design before the challenge of survival.
Sobre a Vivência / About Living
The cultural legacy of a society is an invaluable asset, considering its essential contribution in defining its identity and its strategic action, and therefore, important in the present as well as in the future. The immersion in the process of doing and making it happen looks for references which favour reflection and understanding in the search of inovation through continuity or rupture. As in other fields, the creative process in design starts from previous records, similarities that evoke questions, destabilize and encourage critical thinking, triggering other ways of action and of thinking.
In order to identify and understand meanings and values of the living in community, we are seeking inputs from an active history in the future cultural heritage through Design. Submissions should reflect on the past; history; culture; memory; identity; persistence; the continuity of making (material/immaterial); and also on the design’s contribution to its preservation.
Para a Vivência / For living
The growing interrelationship between design, science and technology proves to be as complex as constructive.
From its interaction practices and theories, new forms of involvement and collaboration are developed. In addition to the direct benefits that new products can bring, interdisciplinary studies practices also contribute to new forms of action and awareness, which go far beyond technology by defining its spaces in areas such as ecology and social cooperation, looking for influence through the integration into a more global awareness. We talk about the present, and further more about its future projection.
This theme encourages contributions that show the strategic role of design for sustainability; design for industrial innovation and economic development. Submitted papers should explore topics such as the future; creating strategies; innovation; trends; consumption; anticipation; support; sustainability; ecodesign; eco-innovation, while questioning the instrumental and political role of Design.
