Scope

The EAI DLI conference advances research in design, learning, and innovation (DLI) in relation to development and use of digital and emergent technology through the dissemination of research, and promotion of inclusive and playful discourses. It is gathering researchers from academia and practitioners from organisations and industry from around the world, who research, practice, and teach in the fields of education, interaction design, games, communication, social science, human-computer interaction, and other related disciplines. The EAI DLI conference is devoted to engaging and support participants at all stages of their career. Due to the diversity of the conference scope, we are happy to offer attendees a range of perspectives and experiences. Each EAI DLI conference is distinct, but it seeks to maintain its character and overall scope and values from year to year. A core value is to advance and inspire the field of DLI, which is done through the outstanding and excellent work being presented as well as through the exchange of ideas and collaborative work to understand as well as fostering the diversity of the discipline.

This year, DLI invites critical, innovative, and transdisciplinary perspectives on the theme: New theories, new methods, new technologies. Design, learning and innovation are often embedded in various practices, discourses, and target groups. As media and technology in a wide range of ways are intertwined with design, learning and innovation, these boundaries are also challenged – empirically as well as theoretically and methodologically. The aim of the EAI DLI conference is provide many different perspectives for developing theoretical and methodological approaches to the study of design, learning and innovation.

All submission related to design, learning and innovation (DLI) are also welcome to the conference. You are invited to participate in the following tracks: full and short papers, work-in-progress, workshops, and symposiums. DLI 2024 will be held at Halmstad University in Sweden.
