Conference Theme and Tracks – The Transdisciplinary Reach of Design Science Research (DSR)

Today’s world faces many complex challenges (i.e. wicked problems) that offer no easy solutions. Inter-related economic, environmental, social, political, and ethical drivers emphasize the need for a changing research landscape quite different from the disciplinary framing found in current institutional structures and processes. Design Science Research provides a compelling frame for transdisciplinary projects with its unique mix of creative design to solve relevant problems and rigorous science to grow theory around the intervention and use of the novel solutions. Transdisciplinary research tracks include:

- Theme Track – Transdisciplinary Research
- FinTech and Blockchain Systems
- Intelligent Systems and Human-Computer Interaction
- Healthcare Systems and Quality of Life
- Innovation and Entrepreneurship
- Sustainability and Responsible Design
- Human Safety and Cybersecurity
- Emerging DSR Methods and Processes
- Designers and Collaborative DSR
- Education and DSR

You can find more in-depth track descriptions on the conference website.
