TRUST___DISTRUST — 16th European Academy of Design Conference

The TRUST___DISTRUST — 16th EAD Conference takes place in Porto, Portugal, from 3 to 7 May 2027, organised by the Faculty of Fine Arts, University of Porto and the ID+ Research Institute for Design, Media and Culture.
The conference brings together researchers, practitioners, educators, and students to advance knowledge in design research, with a particular focus on the theme of trust: its role in shaping digital, social, cultural, and civic life, and its intersections with transparency, accountability, ethics, and emerging technologies.
Submissions are welcome across 16 research tracks covering areas including biodesign, design education, AI, public health, fashion, and co-design.
