From 8 to 10 June 2026, the 21st International Conference on Design Science Research in Information Systems and Technology (DESRIST 2026) took place in Münster, chaired by Prof. Jan vom Brocke. Under the theme "Design for Better Futures: Beyond the Science of the Artificial", the conference brought together the international Design Science Research community to discuss how design can contribute to sustainable and livable futures.

Our team was represented with two contributions. Jannis Nacke presented the Research-in-Progress paper "Designing Process Mining to Mitigate Electronic Performance Monitoring Risks", co-authored with Prof. Dr. Ralf Plattfaut and Prof. Dr. Dr. René Riedl, which explores how Process Mining systems can be designed so that process transparency is experienced as supportive rather than as surveillance. Our external Ph.D. student Peter Alois Francois presented the Research-in-Progress paper "Designing a Socio-Technical Support System for Reuse in Low-Code Development: An Echeloned Design Science Research Study", co-authored with Marlon Kampmann, Prof. Dr. Ralf Plattfaut, and Prof. Dr. André Coners. Both papers are published in the DESRIST 2026 proceedings by Springer.
