I’m excited to announce our Third Workshop on GenAI & Design Research, titled From Dead-Ends to Dialogue, as a companion to DIS ‘25 in Funchal, Portugal. The workshop dives into the “stopsigns”—those semantic and practical barriers that can impede thoughtful progress when integrating generative AI into design research.

We invite you to participate by sharing concrete cases where you hit a conceptual, ethical, social, or pragmatic impasse with GenAI. Through group discussions and hands-on analysis, we’ll collaboratively develop strategies to move beyond these obstacles and shape a robust research agenda.

Check out the full details and submit your paper here: /DISworkshop2025.

Key Dates:

  • Submission Deadline: 13th June 2025
  • Notification of Acceptance: 20th June 2025
  • Workshop Date: 6th July 2025 (during DIS ‘25, July 5–9, 2025)
  • Note: For early bird registration requests, please contact us before June 3rd

Looking forward to seeing you in Funchal!”
