ACM Designing Interactive Systems Conference (DIS) 2025

Funchal, Madeira 5-9 July 2025

We invite you to submit to ACM Designing Interactive Systems (DIS) 2025. We encourage all submissions that address one of our five contribution areas: Critical Computing and Design Theory, Design Methods and Processes, Artifacts and Systems, Research Through Design, and AI and Design. In addition, submissions related to the conference theme of “Designing for a Sustainable Ocean” or that promote rethinking the role of DIS in shaping a more sustainable world are particularly welcome. This theme extends beyond simply accepting research related to the ocean and bodies of water; it invites a critical examination of how these elements can inspire design that transcends human-centered perspectives

The conference chairs are Valentina Nisi and Nuno Jardim Nunes (Instituto Superior Técnico, University of Lisbon). Our technical program committee Ian Oakley (KAIST), Qian Yang (Cornell University) and Clement Zheng (National University of Singapore). The local chairs are Cintia França (University of Madeira) and Paulo Bala (University of Lisbon)

The conference takes place exclusively at Madeira Islands as a full in-person conference.
