STREAMING KNOWLEDGE

ONLINE EVENT
HOSTED BY Politecnico di Torino
Paper talks delivered by systemic designers

October 8–9, 2026 | online

Paper Talks feature peer-reviewed papers presented online by their authors in curated sessions that juxtapose contributions in agreement and in contrast. A subject-matter expert guides each session, enabling direct dialogue and feedback, with particular emphasis on inter- and transdisciplinary approaches to systemic design. These sessions provide a valuable opportunity to engage with geographies and ecologies, visions and ontologies, pedagogies and methods, and practices and tools.
