As in previous editions, the 8th EIMAD aims to bring together researchers and professionals in design, music, artists and other specialties, so that they can share knowledge and share their experiences, processes and research results.
Our call for papers is not subordinated to any particular theme and we accept cross-disciplinary submissions that somehow frame design, music or arts.
On the other hand, we take advantage of the 8th EIMAD to promote, publicize and value the New European Bauhaus initiative promoted by the European Commission and that aims to combine a movement with human, aesthetic and cultural sense to the EU climate transition. We want to value and believe in the relevance of its axes of action at the level of sustainability, aesthetics and inclusion (the authors’ submissions are not limited to these themes) and thus, our four keynote speakers are all linked to the New European Bauhaus, by the scope of their work and the Bauhaus teaching.

Furthermore, we believe that the organic submission of articles will provide a robust programme at the level of research results with relevance to the development of the territory, people’s quality of life, business competitiveness, culture and education, namely: the valorisation of endogenous or natural products and resources of the territory; sustainable development; territorial cohesion; integrated solutions; revitalisation and rehabilitation of heritage; improvement of living conditions; improvement in accessibility and fruition of information; support for internationalisation and innovation and creation processes with a view to business and regional competitiveness; education and empowerment of people and entities for future scenarios; correlation between stakeholders, namely academia, society, government and industry.
