You can contribute to ARPPID with a poster, case study or full paper. Accepted contributions will be published in Springer CCIS series (Scopus Indexed). Selected papers will be invited for a Special Issue at the Interacting with Computers Journal (Oxford University Press)

Submission now open! Deadlines extended to 9th of February!

1.Full Papers:

(16-20 pages excluding references)

We invite full paper submissions that explore research or present conceptual and methodological solutions to foster and support collaboration between academia and industry in Interaction Design. Papers should address challenges and opportunities in building effective partnerships, offering insights into how academic research can be applied to solve real-world design problems, or how academia can benefit from professional practice. Submissions may report on research outcomes from collaborative projects, propose new frameworks or models for collaboration, or critically analyze existing approaches that connect academia and professional practice in the field of Interaction Design.

We welcome papers that provide theoretical contributions, propose innovative methodologies, or share practical examples of how collaboration between academia and practitioners can drive impactful Interaction Design. Papers should focus on generalizable insights that can inform and improve future partnerships, offering actionable recommendations for fostering more effective interactions between these communities. We encourage contributions that reflect on both successes and challenges, ultimately aiming to strengthen the connection between research and practice in Interaction Design.

2. Case Studies:

(6-10 pages excluding references)

We invite case study submissions that demonstrate the application of Interaction Design principles in real-world contexts, with a particular focus on successful collaborations between academia and industry. Submissions should highlight projects where researchers and practitioners worked together to solve practical design challenges, showcasing how these partnerships contributed to innovative solutions and the advancement of the field. Case studies may also illustrate opportunities or needs for stronger collaboration between academia and industry, emphasising the benefits of bridging research and practice in Interaction Design.

We are especially interested in case studies that critically reflect on the process of collaboration, detailing how Interaction Design methods were adapted and applied, and discussing the unique insights gained from these partnerships. Submissions should go beyond the project outcomes to offer broader reflections on the implications for the Interaction Design community, providing valuable lessons for both researchers and practitioners.

3. Posters:

(5-6 pages excluding references + poster)

We invite submissions for poster presentations featuring short papers that focus on fostering collaboration between academia and industry in Interaction Design. Posters should visually present ongoing research or innovative concepts that highlight successful collaborations or identify opportunities for stronger partnerships. These short papers, accompanied by a compelling visual poster, should illustrate how collaboration between researchers and practitioners can drive innovation and address real-world challenges.

Poster presentations are ideal for sharing emerging ideas, early-stage research, or innovative approaches in an engaging and interactive format. Submissions should emphasize visually rich presentations that clearly communicate ongoing work or novel concepts, offering the Interaction Design community fresh insights into collaborative methods, tools, and strategies. This format encourages dynamic discussions and idea exchange around how academia and industry can work together to advance the field.
