World Conference

The 2023 AIRE World Conference, organized by UDA and Windland Art & Design Academy in China, accepts proceeding entries from researchers who want to present their innovative research to colleagues worldwide. This event recognizes design as a purposeful creative expression of humanity and an applied form of utilization and distinction through extensive design-centered multidiscipline studies.


Theme: “Human Experience and Communication by Designs”

Designs are the center of 21st-century technology and services. To practice effectively in design research and application, the researcher must have reliable knowledge of design and scientific research methods. Hence, with this event, as colleagues in the design discipline, we learn from each other and share our thoughts honestly to advance our design education and educate the future to be a better world.

We will discuss advanced, developed, and innovative “Human Experience and Communication” by exploring design methodology. In addition, this event is on-site and online to unite us and celebrate the new generation.
