***Call for abstracts & papers***
Dear colleague,
With apologies for possible cross-posting, I would like to call your attention to the "Participatory Innovation Conference" (http://pinc.sdu.dk), which will be held on January 14-16, 2011. The conference is organized by the Danish strategic research center SPIRE (http://www.sdu.dk/SPIRE) at the University of Southern Denmark (http://www.sdu.dk) in Sønderborg, Denmark (http://www.visitsonderborg.com).
Participatory Innovation gathers theories and methods across academic fields that describe how people outside an organisation can contribute to its innovation. Join this conference to help identify ways for industry and the public sector to expand innovation through the participation of users, employees, suppliers, customers etc. – both on a strategic level, in concrete methods, and in the day-to-day interactions.
The conference presents an exciting program of five tracks:
- Making Design and Analyzing Interaction
- Staging Design Anthropology
- Organizing Participatory Innovation
- Designing Innovative Business Models
- Public Procurement of Participatory Innovation
More information can be found at:

A few key dates are as follows:
- September 27, 2010: Submission of abstract, material or intent to contribute (deadline extended)
- October 28, 2010: Full submissions due
- November 12, 2010: Notification of acceptance
- December 12, 2010: Final submissions due
