RSD7 - 7th RELATING SYSTEMS THINKING AND DESIGN SYMPOSIUM

The 7th Relating Systems Thinking and Design Symposium (RSD7) aims at promoting an
international debate on the multiple applications and purposes on which the systems thinking in
design is developed towards sustainability. The symposium will generate nurturing interdisciplinary
collaborations and discussions around the topic “Challenging complexity by Systemic Design towards
sustainability”, involving academics, designers and professionals.

We invite contributions addressing collaborative research domains in which design is boosting
innovation and sustainability (http://www.rsd7.org/call-for- contributions/). Both academics and
professionals are welcomed to provide their view on how systems thinking in design disciplines can
help our societies, economies and companies to face the challenge of sustainability in complex
environments.
The selection process will be done on long abstracts. We will invite authors to submit the full paper
soon after the RSD7 Symposium: we believe this will make the debate more effective, providing authors
useful insights to be included in the final proceedings.

A special call invites students, designers and academics to submit visualization works that will be part
of the exhibition “Visualizing complex systems”, concerning how design can help visualizing,
explaining and navigating complexity.
