Dear colleague,
With apologies for cross-postings, I would like to announce that the program for the "Participatory Innovation Conference" is now available at
http://spirewire.sdu.dk/pinc. The conference will be held on January 13-15, 2011 and 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). As we aim at creating an interactive atmosphere for presenters as well as (potential) audience, we welcome your participation in this conference! You can register here:
http://spirewire.sdu.dk/pinc/registration.
This conference brings together researchers and practitioners from different disciplines who challenge each other on how to organize for innovation and co-design with external stakeholders, how to manage and procure user-driven innovation, and how to innovate business models with users. It is also a conference where the presenters relate to concrete innovation challenges. We have an exciting program with 66 papers from most parts of Europe as well as four other continents.
When registering for the conference, please sign up for one of the five tracks:
1. Making Design and Analyzing Interaction
2. Staging Design Anthropology
3. Organizing Participatory Innovation
4. Designing Innovative Business Models
5. Public Procurement of Participatory Innovation
The plenum program offers six international keynote speakers (http://spirewire.sdu.dk/pinc/keynotes) and the opportunity to see highlights from the other tracks (http://spirewire.sdu.dk/pinc/schedule).
If you travel via Copenhagen, we have organized a special flight on Saturday, January 15, to coordinate with the closing of the conference. Reservation on a first-come-first-served basis via the conference website (DKK 499 one way).
We hope to welcome you in Sønderborg and look forward to your participation in the conference!
Best regards,
Marcel (co-chair of the "organizing" track)
