Dates: 4-6 September 2018
Location: Sheffield Hallam University, Sheffield, UK
Website: D4H 2018
Deadline for submissions: 26 March 2018
Lab4Living at Sheffield Hallam University is pleased to invite papers from researchers and practitioners for the fifth European Design4Health conference.
This year, we welcome delegates back to Sheffield for the fourth time, and introduce a new submission format: we welcome artefact-led proposals as well as papers and posters.
2018 themes
With increasing pressure to rethink our healthcare systems and set against complex and interconnected global challenges, we particularly welcome contributions that interrogate meanings and assumptions relating to the terms ‘design’ and ‘health’, and offer the following words / terms as provocations:
Design? Health? Care?
Taboo? Value? Success?
Risk? Change? Technology?
We invite you to interrogate and play with the terms in relation to your research and practice.
We welcome submissions in the following formats:
Paper proposals – deadline Mon 26 March 2018
Artefact-led proposals – deadline Mon 26 March 2018
Posters – deadline Mon 14 May 2018
About the conference
Established in 2011, Design4Health is a conference that brings together designers and creative practitioners with researchers, clinicians, policy makers and users to discuss, disseminate and test their approaches and methods. Our events provide an opportunity to reflect on how the disciplines of design and health might continue to develop new ways of thinking and working, and how we might impact positively and sustainably on the social, economic and cultural factors within our communities and beyond.
