Topics
Design for Human and Intelligent Agency
As intelligent systems increasingly shape our environments, behaviors, and decision-making, the question of human agency becomes more pressing than ever. In addition to the classical transdisciplinary engineering topics, this year’s conference especially invites transdisciplinary perspectives to explore how design - integrated with engineering, marketing, psychology, and humanities - can reinforce autonomy, emotional well-being, and ethical engagement in complex socio-technical systems. From theoretical to practical perspectives, we seek contributions that reimagine intelligent futures where humans are not only present - but empowered.

Review Process Overview
Abstract Submission
Authors submit an abstract of no more than 300 words, summarizing the research objectives, methods, and contributions.
Initial Screening
Each abstract receives a preliminary check by 3–4 meta reviewers to confirm alignment with Transdisciplinary Engineering (TE).
Full Paper Invitation
Submissions that pass the initial screening will receive an official invitation to submit a full paper.
Full Paper Review
Full papers undergo double-blind peer review. Each paper is independently evaluated by at least two domain experts, ensuring fairness and academic rigor.
Review Decision
