NOTIFICATIONS OF ACCEPTANCE: 11th September 2014
DATE OF WORKSHOP: 27th October 2014

This interactive multidisciplinary one-day workshop brings together 
researchers and practitioners interested in exploring the ethical, 
economic, and material entanglements constituted by incentivisation. 
Points of departure will be likely to involve discussions of, on the one 
hand, designs projects which endeavor to explore incentivisation and, on 
the other hand, workshop participants? recollections of and opinions 
regarding instances in which they have (intentionally or otherwise) 
incentivised the engagement of research participants and/or users in 
their projects.

We invite researchers and practitioners from fields including but not 
restricted to design, HCI, CSCW, ethnography, psychology,  anthropology, 
human geography, as well as industry practitioners. Our  day of 
collaboration will comprise of pecha kucha-style presentations  from 
participants, discussions, and an activity based around a  particular 
socio-technical and economic context in which participants  will be 
encouraged to explore and develop design solutions for  incentivisation.

Workshop aims
- To recognize and identify, through participant examples, when and  how 
incentives (e.g. money, vouchers, fun, connections) are inherent  to 
designs and how incentives come to be part of projects.
- To share as a group stories of how people have encouraged publics? 
uptake of their research processes and where appropriate projects and to 
reflect on these stories.
- To use presentations of participants? experiences to compare and 
contrast the ways in which ideas and practices surrounding 
incentivisation might vary between disciplines, between public and 
privately-funded projects, and between different media.
- To discuss how digital worlds might make incentivisation a  meaningful 
and thought-provoking new paradigm for discussing research  about and in 
digital worlds.

Submission guidelines
On the day of the workshop, presenters will begin discussions with pecha 
kucha-style presentations.
Please apply by sending Siobhan Magee ([log in to unmask]) ONE of
