Theme
"Creativity at the Extremes"
Often times creativity arises in situations that are less than ideal, i.e., situations where time, working space, materials, and people are limited. Since creativity under resource constraints is an important research agenda, the main theme of the Sixth International Conference on Design Creativity (ICDC 2020) is "Creativity at the Extremes". In addition to works advancing established topics in design creativity, submissions dealing with case studies and research on new design creativity supporting technologies and approaches are also welcome.
Topics
We expect topics including, but not limited to:
- Creative design processes and methods
- Creative design cultures
- Collaborative creative design
- Social interactions in creative design
- Cognition and neurosciences in creative design
- Big data, machine learning and AI to support creativity
- ICT supported creativity
- Extreme prototyping and creative journeys
- Creative design for sustainability
- Creativity with extreme users
- Measuring creativity and its impact
- Open innovation for creative industries
- Managing creativity and innovation
- Entrepreneurship and creativity
- Social impact of creative design
- Case studies of new creative design practices
- Creative learners and practitioners

The most significant papers, after major revision and extension, will be recommended for a special issue of the International Journal of Design Creativity and Innovation, which will be published in collaboration with this conference.
