Call for Participation: Participatory Design Conference and Workshops
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2006 Participatory Design Conference: Expanding Boundaries in Design
Trento, Italy, August 1-5, 2006
http://www.pdc2006.org/
The conference has 3 days of technical program and 2 full days with a
wide range of workshops to choose from.
This year 15 full papers (single track) and 18 exploratory short papers
(parallel tracks) have been selected for presentation with a wide range
of topics related to PD - from experiences with design games,
development of museum installations, case studies of dental practice,
health care to exploring the role of PD in Tanzania and India. The theme
'Expanding Boundaries in Design' focuses attention on the multiple
contexts in which design takes place and on an expanding range of
possible design outcomes.
An attractive and varied workshop programme invites you to become part
of art, explore new ideas and approaches, or join in-depth discussions
of important PD issues. The workshops offer unique opportunities, and
we have now extended the deadline for workshop registration. Some
workshops will be reaching their maximum numbers of participants soon,
so please act promptly to avoid disappointment.
Workshop Program
-----------------------------
PDC 2006 offers an exciting programme of workshops. Contributions range
from hands on explorations of methodological innovations, to the
production of artworks. There are discussions of the importance of
boundaries, interactive television, and sessions where participants are
invited to write, review and explore position papers, e.g. on the
participatory design of CSCW technologies in healthcare. We received and
accepted 17 high-calibre proposals from applicants in academia, art,
non-profit organisations (Overseas Development Institute), and industry
(the BBC, IDEO, Pitney Bowes).
Registration
---------------
Please register for workshops when you register for the conference. The
requirements for participating in workshops differ: Some workshops ask
for a position paper. Participation incurs a fee of 25 Euros (this is to
cover catering and equipment costs). It is necessary to register for the
conference to register for a workshop.
