We welcome papers related to the Conference's three points of view: Making, Materiality and Knowledge. These views may be broadly interpreted. Papers on subjects outside the three points of view will also be considered, as long as they support the main aim of the conference.

We would in particular welcome papers that, when put together in the parallel sessions, show the broad spectrum of relevant methods within the frame of MAKING.

We encourage paper presentations to be more than pure lectures. We welcome sessions that incorporates other and more active/making forms for presentation.

- _Papers with peer-response_: Papers in this category will be given 20 minutes for a presentation, 10 minutes for a prepared response/discussion from a peer, and 10 minutes discussion with audience. Authors who want/ their paper considered for this category, must be prepared to send a full paper to their peer by 1. September 2012, in order for the peer to prepare a response.

The editorial teams for each Journal have the sole right to decide which articles they want to publish. If you are interested in being considered for publication you may say so when submitting your abstract. The editors may also invite authors to contribute if they so wish.

The submitted abstracts will be evaluated by a select team of peer-reviewers in April 2012. Confirmation of acceptance will be given in consecutive order, following a publication of the abstract on the conference website. The last date for acceptance of submitted abstracts is 1. July 2012. For those papers selected to be invited to publish in the special issue of the research journals, a timeline towards publication will apply.
