Organizers: The conference is co-organized by:
- Future Worlds Center
- N.E.T.S. Mediterranean Graduate School of Applied Social Cognition
- Cyprus Interaction Lab
- Institute for 21st Century Agoras
Organizing Committee:
Aims:
- Create an opportunity for scientists and practitioners of the Science of Dialogic Design (SDD) from across the world to get together for a whole week and engage in structured democratic dialogues that would help us all not only advance the science and plan its future, but also to get to know each other and become friends.
- Offer a unique opportunity for younger colleagues and people interested to learn more about the Structured Dialogic Design Process (SDDP) to engage in the science and/or the practice, to meet and interact with world pioneers, as well as to attend specially designed SDD Facilitators Training Schools that lead to Certification.
- Combine international efforts to achieve global consensus towards conscious evolution of the required social transformations.
Accommodation
Participants should take care of their own accommodation. The conference will take place in conference rooms that belong to the Cyprus University of Technology located at the center of the Limassol Old City. Limassol is a culturally rich city that offers visitors and tourists quality and plentifulness of options. Prices in the beginning of May are lower than during the tourist season. There are many Hotels inside the city and also along the shore for up to 10-15 Km East of the city. There are easy-to-get buses connecting the tourist zones with the centre.
You may opt for a Hotel close to the City Centre (using the filter in Booking.com) or an apartment even outside the city (much cheaper) to combine business with some vacations. The organisers will try to assign whenever possible Local Assistants to international visitors to help them with their transportation and moving around.
Participants are strongly advised to make their arrangements before the end of the year to benefit from best prices.
Suggested Nearby Restaurants for Lunch

Financial Support and Student scholarships
All participants will pay fees. The fees will be used towards supporting visiting scientists and practitioners who come from far away and may need some financial support.
Justification of the Need
The need for far-reaching social transformations in our world is now widely acknowledged. All stakeholders recognize the fact that social change requires participatory, democratic processes. The Structured Dialogic Design Process is positioned as a powerful tool in this context. The purpose of this timely international gathering in Cyprus is not to revisit the history of the past 40 plus years but to create the history of the future. The community of scientists and practitioners of the science of dialogic design has now expanded to include people from all parts of the world and a variety of languages and cultures. This dedicated community of scientists will gather for a whole week to deliberate formally and informally on how to evolve the process and retain its scientific credibility together with its cultural sensitivity.
We recognize the fact that our third millennium world needs new methodologies and new tools capable of harnessing the collective wisdom of people from all walks of life in order to protect its sustainability and foster up harmony into its evolution. The event will include sessions dedicated to identifying needs, recognizing challenges and exploring options for new features and new solutions. Each day will include a Keynote Lecture, a Symposion, a Co-Laboratory and a an Evening Lecture all focusing on the same challenge. Some sessions may be parallel offering opportunities for senior members of the Global Agoras to deliberate on their own and to other participants to present and attend a classic-type conference.
No claim is being made abour the superiority of the Structured Dialogic Design Process, even though there is substantial empirical evidence, from more than 1,000 applications in the arena, to this effect when dealing with the management of complexity. SDDP belongs to the Third Phase of Science, and as a consequence it is meant to be complementary to other methodologies originating from First and Second Phases of Science.
A Glimpse into the Design Aims of the Program
1. Get to know each other and what everyone is doing At the launch of ever day's program, five people will be invited to present themselves and their key work. We called it Five Minutes of Fame because we expect participants to make VERY short, TEDx-style, presentations. The presentations will be videotaped using quality systems. To prepare for the preparation people should be offering answers to questions like who s/he is, what s/he is doing, what are hers/his major interests, vision for the future, the ONE most important message to leave with the group for the theme of the day, etc. To be allowed to present, one should submit a video 3 months ahead of time. This is to ensure that people have truly prepared for such a short, but very rich presentation and not come unprepared.
2. Define future features of collective wisdom harnessing tools We plan to use the Structured Dialogic Design Process Methodology and Cognicope analogous software to define requirements and future features of collective wisdom harnessing tools as reflected by practitioners and students of the science. An analogous virtual SDDP was organised more than 4 years ago and has driven developments since then. The vision is for a new process to kindle developments for the next 3-4 years using the authentic needs, ideas, and wishes of the community of scientists and practitioners.
3. Scaling-up the dialogue to engage thousands or millions The next frontier. An SDDP on the challenges of scaling up and engaging thousands or millions in social change processes adhering to the laws of the science of dialogic design (on present state of realization of the idea of Demoscopio or Social Planetarium which would give citizens the opportunity to participate in deliberation and implementation of public policies in Crete see http://www.leregardcretois.blogspot.gr/2015/03/blog-post_8.html).
4. Coordinating and aligning our efforts Challenge: How do we coordinate our efforts in organising dozens, if not hundreds, of SDDPs around the globe, letting people world-wide know about the potentials of the Dialogic Design Science.
Positioning Dialogic Design Science within the framework of other systems science methodologies and approaches
Important questions:
questions such as the following:
- Is Dialogic Design Science the appropriate response at this time and necessarily the preferred over others?
- Can Dialogic Design Science contribute towards reaching a global consensus?
- When and how is Dialogic Design Science complementary to other approaches offering other insights?
- How can we best interrelate complementary approaches, each with a tendency to consider that it is of primary value -- especially in seeking to reinforce that perspective through the gathering
-- Supposing that significant support for Dialogic Design Science emerged as a consequence of the exercise, how is it assumed that the cases for marginalizing other approaches (considered to be of lesser relevance) would be undertaken
-- How best to deal with advocacy of competing approaches and their constituencies
-- if it is possible that "different strokes are required for different folks", how is this consideration to be recognized and integrated, especially if those marginalized by SDD strenuously object in some way
-- What questions remain unasked in framing the SDD initiative -- as they are in the framing of initiatives by others -- and how do such questions constrain the wider appreciation of the outcome (some arguments in favor of hypothesis that it is the ontological questions concerning the structure and transformation of social systems which remain most often unasked are available to all interested at https://www.academia.edu/12128715/Ontological_questions_of_a_Structural_Dialogical_Design_apprentice_concerning_SDD_Axioms_from_sociology_of_knowledge_perspective ).
The deliberations at the gathering will address all four domains of the DOSM, i.e., the Foundation, Theory, Methodology, and Applications, in order to ensure the evolution of the science in accordance to the tenants of this model, as described in the referential transparency paper posted at the link: http://dialogicdesignscience.wikispaces.com/Laws+(7)

A Historical Perspective: From the Club of Rome to the Digital Era
For the last 40 plus years there have been probably more than 1,000 applications of SDDP in Co-Laboratories of Democracy staged in a variety of settings around the world. For example in Cyprus, the location of this Symposion (it is a Greek word meaning drinking together), we have a history of more than 20 years of applications and more than 70 Co-Laboratories[10] with government agencies, such as the Ministries of Finance, Transportation, Interior, and many others, as well as bi-communal colabs involving Greek and Turkish Cypriots addressing issues of conflict resolution and peace building on the island of Aphrodite.
The first test of the Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) algorithm, developed by John Warfield[11] in 1971, was conducted by Dave Malone and Aleco Christakis on the table top of Warfield’s office at the Battelle Columbus Laboratories in Ohio, USA. The first application of ISM with real people was conducted by Brother Raymond Fitz, who later on became the President of the University of Dayton, with the City Council of Dayton in 1973. There is a video of this ISM session with the members of the city council deliberating on setting budget priorities for allocating the city revenue. The first Center for Interactive Management was established by Warfield and Christakis at the University of Virginia in 1982, and was moved to George Mason University in 1984. The first consultancy employing the Interactive Management methodology, a predecessor of SDD, was established by Christakis in Philadelphia in 1989, and it worked for 25 years with more than 50 clients in government agencies, corporations, foundations, and NGOs. The Institute for 21st Century Agoras was founded by Dr. Ken Bausch and Aleco Christakis in 2002, in preparation for the 2003 International conference of ISSS (www.ISSS.org) in Crete, when Christakis was serving as President of the systems society met Yiannis Laouris for the first time. Soon there after Laouris established the Future Worlds Center, which emerged as a leader in the evolution of SDD.
The purpose of this timely symposion in Cyprus is not to revisit the history of the past 40 plus years, but to create the history of the future on the foundation of past history. The community of scientists and practitioners of the Dialogic Design Science has now expanded to include people from all parts of the world and a variety of languages and cultures. This dedicated community of scientists will gather for the first time in this symposion for a whole week, and will deliberate formally and informally on how to evolve the process and retain its scientific credibility together with its cultural sensitivity.
The Framework of their deliberations will be the Domain of Science Model (DOSM) developed by Warfield and shown graphically here.
