The Fab 17 research papers stream invites original scholarly writing from researchers studying the Fab Lab movement, its ambitions and its impact from a wide range of disciplines, including computer science, engineering, science and technology studies, business and management, education, urban studies, media and design, and many more.
Bali Fab Fest has also a strong focus on the Fab City Full Stack, so research papers on this topic are particularly invited.

The Fab City Full Stack
The thematic focus in Bali is "Designing Emergent Realities", aiming to boost the transformation of the island's economy through the hybridization of local and global knowledge. Such efforts will be orchestrated using the Fab City Full Stack, a multi-scalar framework for developing new strategies for distributed production in cities and regions.
We invite authors to submit their work following the Full Stack, not only focusing on one single layer of the framework but articulating relationships between multiple layers in order to address complex challenges locally and globally.
