Dear Colleagues,
For those of you excited about cross-disciplinary research: What we try to do at the Participatory Innovation Conference is to couple disciplines that else talk very little to each other in our quest to understand innovation better. We'll even attempt to match you with an author from a different discipline before the conference, should you choose to submit :)

Call for Papers – PARTICIPATORY INNOVATION CONFERENCE 2013, 18-20 June, Lahti, Finland
The 3rd Participatory Innovation Conference, PIN-C will be held in Lahti, Finland on 18-20 June 2013. Organised jointly by Lappeenranta University of Technology, Lahti School of Innovation (LUT LSI) and University of Southern Denmark, Sønderborg Participatory Innovation Research Centre (SPIRE), this conference will bring together researchers, artists, designers and practitioners. The 3-day programme will include presentations by leading keynote speakers, research paper sessions, applied theatre, a hands-on innovation session with industry cases, and artistic interpretations of research.
Participatory Innovation combines 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, the public sector, and communities to expand innovation through the participation of users, employees, suppliers, citizens, members, etc. – on a strategic level, in concrete methods, and in day-to-day interactions.
Industry, public agencies, and communities increasingly adopt people-driven and open innovation, as they realise that innovation cannot come solely from within an organisation. Innovation happens in between people outside and people inside – because they have different stakes and perspectives.
In academia, new breakthrough contributions to understanding and supporting innovation also emerge in the borderlands between disciplines that traditionally do not collaborate. PIN-C 2013 is a forum where participants from different disciplines and organisations can meet and challenge each other to develop the field of participatory innovation.
The conference theme for this year is Participation as Performance. In particular we welcome contributions that in concrete terms explore how performance can support innovation, or that draw on performance theory and methods to understand participation and innovation.
Keynote speakers include:
Prof. Giovanni Schiuma, Chairman of the Arts for Business Institute and Professor in Innovation Management at Università della Basilicata (Italy)
Prof. Elena Antonacopoulou, GNOSIS, University of Liverpool Management School (UK)
Prof. Ariane Berthoin Antal, Social Science Research Center Berlin (WZB) (Germany)
Paper tracks
The trademark of this conference is that participants contribute with papers in one of five tracks that each explore a potential combination of disciplines. This year you can submit to any of these five exciting paper tracks:
1. Aesthetics of Designed Participation
Chairs: Trine Heinemann, SPIRE/University of Helsinki, and Stephan Wensveen, SPIRE
2. Design Anthropology and Social Innovation
Chairs: Helinä Melkas, LUT LSI, and Brendon Clark, Interactive Institute
3. Social Shaping of Innovation in Organisations
Chairs: Timo Pihkala, LUT LSI, and Henry Larsen, SPIRE
4. Participatory Business Design
Chairs: Tuomo Uotila, LUT LSI, and Jacob Buur, SPIRE
5. Innovation Policy and Local Participation
Chairs: Vesa Harmaakorpi, LUT LSI, and Henrik Sproedt, SPIRE
Programme on applied theatre in innovation
In accordance with the conference theme, we encourage applied theatre actors and artists with experience and interest in innovation and organisational change to submit an Intent to Participate. This group of active theatre people will in turn visit each paper track, and in this way explore the opportunities for theatre to support social shaping, business design, organisational learning, innovation policy making, etc. Participants who like to join this programme are encouraged to also join the pre-conference workshop on 16-17 June 2013.
Pre-conference workshop on applied theatre in innovation on 16-17 June 2013
For artists, actors, small theatre ensembles and researchers who have worked with theatre and related art forms in supporting innovation and change processes in organisations. The aim of the workshop is to exchange experience on various formats of theatre support for change processes, and to prepare the theatre programme at the conference. The group will explore what emerges when applied theatre and innovation research are combined.
Innovation session
New to the conference programme is also a hands-on innovation session, in which mixed teams across the five paper tracks get the chance to explore concrete industry/ organisational cases with the full breadth of Participatory Innovation perspectives.
Artistic interpretation of research
Art and research aim at defining reality and experience, both with their own means. The aim of this activity of the conference is to link researchers, artists and creative practitioners into a dialogue around scientific papers and create a discourse that very seldomly occurs between art and research on a practical level. The result of this dialogue would be artworks from any field of art or design (poster, painting, performance, design, etc.) merging practitioner’s expertise with scientific content.
Important dates
Abstract submission deadline: 3 December 2012
Notification of acceptance: 20 January 2013
Full paper submission deadline: 10 March 2013
Full paper review results: 7 April 2013
Print-ready paper submission: 5 May 2013
PIN-C follows a two-step peer-review process: both abstracts and full manuscripts are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be presented in the conference programme and published in the conference proceedings.
