The 2019-20 coronavirus pandemic disease (COVID-19) has produced a significant and sadly dramatic impact in the life of all people. While the entire humanity feels dangerously powerless at the same time an unprecedented amount of initiatives across the world have shown human creativity and resilience. The entire scientific community is cohesive in facing this emergency and the severe health-related issues that have arisen in the last months.
The aim of this Special Issue of the Strategic Design Research Journal, entitled Design contributions for the COVID-19 global emergency, is to enrich the cultural and scientific debate by gathering and mapping all progresses produced in the COVID-19 emergency scenario and, then, to understand the role of the Design discipline in facing the complex global emergencies.Deadline for full papers submissions: 15 July 2020

The 2019-20 coronavirus pandemic disease (COVID-19) has produced a significant and sadly dramatic impact in the life of all people. While the entire humanity feels dangerously powerless at the same time an unprecedented amount of initiatives across the world have shown human creativity and resilience. The entire scientific community is cohesive in facing this emergency and the severe health-related issues that have arisen in the last months.
Therefore, manuscripts developed for this Special Issue can include, but not limited to:
- Cases studies, design projects and experimental applications carried out in emergency-driven scenarios, and their contribution in facing the COVID-19-related difficulties, or indirectly generated from it.
- Phenomenological investigations of regional / local policies, and their impact at the international scale, including the scalability of trials in the way of sustainable and inclusive applications.
- Studies on socially inclusive and human centred solutions connecting communities, enabling technologies and societal needs after the emergency scenarios.
- Studies on the role of Design in distributed / greener economies during and after pandemics or crisis situations aimed to trace promising business models and competitive forms of sustainable wellbeing.
- Inductive studies using technology-led and design-driven approaches aimed to create more resilient and sustainable social forms of wellbeing.
- Interdisciplinary explorations and proactive design-led scenario studies concerning positive multidisciplinary impacts within the Discipline after the COVID-19 emergency.
- Theoretical / methodological studies on future research lines that the Design discipline may consider for the next decades, even taking into account the advances proposed within the Discipline in last years.
- Impact of COVID-19 in HE systems and strategies adopted to face education-related issues.
To help bring new insights into this topic, the Guest Editors welcome papers from researchers, designers and professionals working in all fields of Design, for review and possible publication in this forthcoming Special Issue of the Strategic Design Research Journal.
