Submissions should follow the PDC Submission template but only exploratory

Exploratory papers: (short paper – maximum 4 pages) Exploratory papers
should present ideas that could benefit from discussion with members of the
Participatory Design community. These papers may include work-in-progress,
experiences of reflective practitioners, and first drafts of novel concepts
and approaches. Each submitted paper will be double blind reviewed by at least
3 reviewers. Please make sure submissions are anonymous. If you have any
questions, please contact [log in to unmask]
Industry Day Presentations: (1-2 page proposals) There are two types of
submissions for this new,
special one day Industry Day Track:
Industry Cases - that report on the use of participatory design (PD) methods,
tools, and/or practices within commercial, non-profit and governmental
organisations, and,PDC Pitch Fest Presentations – where representatives from
not-for-profit and academic sectors “pitchâ€
design ideas in a short, lively format. This is an opportunity to present
participatory design research, concepts and ideas to a panel of ‘industry’
representatives. Submissions for Industry Day do not require academic
reviewing and will be reviewed instead by an industry panel. If you have any
questions, please contact [log in to unmask]
Artefacts, posters, products, interactive demonstrations: (2 page proposal)
Works may include projects, techniques, and products developed with a
commitment to the principles and philosophy of Participatory Design and they
may incorporate any forms or genres of information/communication
technologies or digital media (e.g., sound, still/moving images, touch, space,
text, etc.). Successful proposals will be presented during a session where
participants can interact with presenters and artefacts. The proposal should
include title, goals, technique, relevance to Participatory Design and a
sketch or design, as appropriate. Please describe your plan for audience
participation. If you have any
questions, please contact [log in to unmask]
Doctoral consortium: (2 page proposal) Full day session. The doctoral
consortium is intended for PhD students working within the field of
Participatory Design. It will provide students with an opportunity to present
issues of concern to them in their doctoral studies and receive extensive
feedback from the session co-chairs and student participants. Enrolment is
limited and selection will been based on application submissions. The proposal
should give an overview of the PhD project, including research question,
method, how the PhD work is related to Participatory Design, the status of
current work,
major findings and plans for further research. Accepted applicants will be
asked to provide a revised and elaborated proposal a few months before the
conference. If you have any questions, please contact [log in to unmask]
Student volunteers: We are looking for a team of dedicated student volunteers
to make PDC function. In exchange for free registration you are expected to
