Design: Vertical & Horizontal Growth Conference | Call for papers

’Design: Vertical & Horizontal Growth’ will be a precursorto the official annual Cumulus Conference postponed to June 2022. Since staying connected is critical in the on-going COVID-reality, three Russian universities decided to make participation free of charge. The conference will be held in digital format from 28 to 30 October 2020. Each day will be covering one of the conference’s tracks: Future Human, Creative Industry, Inter-action. Each host (SpbU, SpbPU, HSE) will be responsible for one track. This approach will present a diverse Russian art and design academic community eager to exchange ideas with colleagues worldwide. Researchers are invited to join discussions devoted to current design issues until 1 October (full paper) and 20 November (camera-ready full paper).
