CALL FOR PARTICIPATION: TOWARDS A MANIFESTO FOR LIVING LAB CO-CREATION You are hereby invited to participate in our WORKSHOP ON CO-CREATION IN LIVING LABS, held at INTERACT 2009, in Uppsala, Sweden, August 24. A current trend is to see Living Labs as a way to engage users, stakeholders and developers in co-creative practices. However, the existing Living Lab literature seems - with some exceptions - to be in acute lack of established practices supporting co-creation. We therefore challenge you - the practitioners and researchers of the field - to contribute to our common knowledge of co-creation in Living Labs, and to be engaged in the development of a manifesto for Living Lab co-creation. Want to contribute? Please submit a presentation of Living Lab co-creation practices as you know them - in less than 1000 words. SUBMISSION DEADLINE: As soon as possible, but no later than May 10. PLEASE, SUBMIT ON E-MAIL TO: [log in to unmask] Read more at the workshop blog: http://owela.vtt.fi/cocreation/ For inspiration when writing your contribution, you may target one or more of the following: - Key principles for Living Lab co-creation - Practices for Living Lab co-creation; processes and methods - Participatory Design and User-Centred Design in Living Labs - Living Lab co-creation and intellectual property rights - Organizational requirements for Living Lab co-creation Your contribution will be published at the workshop blog immediately upon acceptance; for discussion, commenting, rating, and voting. We encourage you to make your contribution blog-friendly - feel free to add e.g. images or videos as illustrations. Notification of acceptance will be given one week following submission. At the workshop, we will take your contributions as a starting point, and work together to establish an initial draft manifesto for Living Lab co-creation. Hope to see you there!
