Workshops
Workshop 1. Participatory Design and the ‘Healthcare Institution’
Monday 29 November. Full day workshop.
Organisers:
Daniel Wolstenholme, Mark Cobb, Simon Bowen, Andy Dearden, Fazilatur Rahman, Peter Wright, Thomas Binder, Eva Brandt and Lone Malmborg
This workshop, facilitated by an interdisciplinary team of design and healthcare researchers, provides an exciting opportunity to:
• share experiences and stories of designing in and with the healthcare institutions
• reflect on recent and ongoing design activity within health and social care.
• contribute to the production of the ‘way forward’ for PD in Healthcare.
Together we will map our experiences of designing within healthcare to set the background for the presentations and discussions to follow.”

Workshop 2: Prototyping (in) Healthcare
Tuesday 30 November. Full day workshop.
Organisers:
Tariq Andersen, PhD fellow, Human-centered Computing, Dept. of Computer Science, University of Copenhagen
Jonas Moll, PhD fellow, Human-centered Computing, Dept. of Computer Science, University of Copenhagen
Troels Mønsted, PhD fellow, Human-centered Computing, Dept. of Computer Science, University of Copenhagen
As PD moves into healthcare distinct practical issues emerge. PD researchers need to respond to these new challenges by e.g. establishing an ongoing dialogue on the practicalities of prototyping in healthcare. With this workshop we intend to start such reflections by focusing on practical issues of prototyping, such as ‘how to orchestrate PD in healthcare?’ and ‘how to run and manage prototypes in everyday medical practice?’ During the workshop the results of participants’ work on problems and solutions will collaboratively be turned into a booklet. The booklet articulates a first take on ‘tricks of the trade’ of prototyping in healthcare.

Workshop 3. Innovation in participatory design
Tuesday 30 November. Full day workshop.
Organisers:
Peter Dalsgaard and Kim Halskov, CAVI & Center for Digital Urban Living, Institute of Information and Media Studies, University of Aarhus
The goal of the workshop is to advance the practical and theoretical understanding of the real life nature of processes of innovation as part of participatory design of interactive systems. The workshop seeks to explore how to describe, talk about, and understand in which ways and under which circumstances users and designers are innovative and creative actors in design activities. The format of the workshop will be short presentations from the participants as well as group work sessions. We invite contributions that either 1) address and discuss specific methods which scaffold innovation in participatory design and/or 2) address ways of understanding, analyzing and discussing creativity and innovation in the design process.

To participate, please submit your 2-4 pages position statement formatted using the ACM SIGCHI template directly to Kim Halskov: halskov@cavi.dk before September 1. Notification September 13
Workshop 4. Participatory Innovation in SMEs
Monday 29 November. Full day workshop.
Organisers:
Christine De Lille, Delft University of Technology
Jacob Buur,Mads Clausen Institute for Product Innovation, University of Southern Denmark
Small-to-Medium sized Enterprises (SMEs) have been the forgotten child within academic research regarding PD until recently. The need for user participation within SMEs has been recognized, but in which aspects does this differ from that already taking place within larger companies? Are the existing methods adequate in a SME context?
The goal of this workshop is to share insights on work with SMEs. Reports on cases with SMEs are rare in academia while many practitioners within participatory design probably have experience dealing with SMEs. We would like this information and experience to surface during this workshop.
We invite participants to share their own experiences by relating stories of how they conducted cases within a SME context. Also, the organizers each bring their own case stories.
Up to ten participants can attend the workshop. Researchers cases and experience within Participatory Design in SMEs are invited to submit a short position paper on their work. Details for the position paper will be e-mailed when sending a registration email to the organizers.
Depending on available seats, people with interest in the topic but no prior experience can attend the workshop as well. Please submit a brief statement about your experience and motivation. These participants are invited to read Heiskanen (see references) as preparation for the workshop.
Submission via c.s.h.delille@tudelft.nl . Please include a short description of your background in your position paper.
Position paper deadline: September 1st.
Notification of acceptance: September 13th.
