Call for Positioning Papers
A Positioning Paper is a short piece (1000 words) that articulates a well-supported philosophical or other position in a polemic form, that is supported by references but is not directly research. The positioning papers are due for submission by 17th September 2018.

Call for Research Proposals
Running With Scissors will bring together a huge resource of design researchers for three full days. We invite you to propose a research project that exploits the possibilities this conference raises. This will be different to a workshop in that it can happen at any point in the conference and in any location. (Strictly by negotiation). The research proposals are due for submission by 17th September 2018. There are no abstract submissions for these, rather submission of the final proposals only.

Call for Workshops
A Workshop is a 2-hour long, facilitated interactive session for groups of up to 20 people, of learning through doing to explore ideas, practices, understanding and new methods. Proposals (of 600 words and a maximum of three images) are invited. They are to demonstrate a demand or interest for the subject area. For example, is there a community in place already? Is there a Special Interest Group? The workshop proposals are due for submission by 17th September 2018.
