At a time when human activity is threatening biodiversity and causing severe climate change, it becomes obvious that natural and artificial systems can no longer be conceived in isolation but only in relation to each other – or indeed as one. In order to develop the theme of Design Ecologies they invite a variety of disciplines to make contributions: full papers, exploratory papers, workshops, exhibitions and a doctoral consortium.

The Design Ecologies conference includes the following tracks:
Design and Approaches for Sustainability
Design as a Political Agent
Design and Sustainable Businesses
Design and Sustainable Technologies
Design and its Educations
Design and its Wild Cards

Important dates:
7 – 10 June 2015: Conference (Sunday – Wednesday)
1 December 2014: Submission system opens
7 January 2015: Submission deadline
20 March 2015: Author notification
20 April 2015: Submission of final versions


Mathilda Tham (Linnaeus University, Goldsmiths)
Håkan Edeholt (Oslo School of Architecture and Design)
