Submission
Please format your submission using the official conference template. Make sure your document adheres to the specified page size, font styles, and follows the prescribed citation style. A sample PDF with instructions illustrating correct formatting is provided for reference.
To submit, first register for an account in the DESIGN 2026 ConfTool system (link provided at the bottom of this page) if you do not have one. When there, follow the link for “Full Paper Submission.” You’ll be prompted to enter manuscript metadata—including title, abstract (up to 600 characters), select topic, add keywords, and author details—before uploading your submission. Once you’ve confirmed that all fields are complete and your submission file opens without errors, simply hit “Proceed” to finalize the upload. Upon successful submission, you will receive an automated confirmation email.
Please format your paper using the official Word template and follow the detailed formatting instructions provided in our style guide.

Before submitting, please ensure that your manuscript conforms to the length limit and template requirements, that no identifying information appears in the submission file, and that all author names and affiliations are entered correctly in ConfTool. Verify that your file opens properly in Adobe Reader or an equivalent PDF viewer, and that you’ve selected at least three relevant keywords. The number of submissions is limited to two per submitting author.
You can update your submission until the full-paper submission deadline (15 November 2025); after that date, changes are not permitted. We encourage submissions that consider accessibility best practices, and authors must affirm that their work is entirely their own: free from plagiarism, unauthorized reuse, or undisclosed third-party contributions, and not generated or substantially composed by large language models or other automated systems. Personal data provided during registration will be processed in accordance with GDPR, solely for conference administration and the publication of proceedings.
The submission deadline is 15 November 2025, by midnight CET.
