After twenty years of growth, IASDR 2025 returns to Taiwan, the site of its inaugural event, marking a significant milestone for reflection and renewed departure. The theme for this 2025 conference delves into the changes in design research following pivotal paradigm shifts highlighted at the Milan 'design change' in IASDR 2023. It will explore NEXT innovative actions subsequent to these changes, examining new topics in design research such as more than human-centered design , and new methodologies, such as digital environments and AI collaboration. The conference is hosted by the Taiwan Design Research Institute and the Chinese Institute of Design, showcasing Taiwan's collaborative effort. This integration of design research and practice will particularly address industry and public design issues. As design research and practice often manifest in interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary collaborations, this conference also emphasizes design-driven integrative innovation and the reflection on different cultures as sources of design meaning and value. These themes, encompassing systems, AI, culture, and new cross-disciplinary approaches, will also be addressed in discussions on global critical issues such as health, aging, and sustainability. IASDR 2025 aims to gather collective wisdom and action to forge a better future through design.
