Call for contributions: Co-creation and character
Participation is becoming a greater part of our economy, governance and innovation practices. Participative projects have sprung from movements to democratize technology, innovation, product design, architecture and town planning. The participation of citizens or end-users in the design of products and services is often also advantageous for businesses. Participative innovation may be a better way to address complex global issues like climate change, the need for a sustainable energy transition and the robotization of the workforce. While participating in innovative practices can be valuable, it can also be demanding. Participative processes can also be slow. For participative innovation to make a positive contribution, a change in people’s mentality is required.
This workshop is to explore the future of co-creation and participatory innovation from the perspective of character. The focus will be on questions about:
- Which character traits do we need to develop to flourish in a participative future?
- Which virtues are needed to get there?
- Which vices should be avoided?
- What are good habits that citizens or professionals should develop when engaging in participative practices?
- What kind of behavior is productive and/or counterproductive in participatory innovation?
Contributors are invited to pitch their research, idea or argument in 8 minutes. All participants are invited to discuss the pitches and give constructive feedback.
We welcome 500-word abstracts for 8 minute talks which will be the basis of discussion. We welcome contributions from different disciplines (philosophy, social sciences, psychology, management etc.) as well as inter- and multidisciplinary contributions.
Abstracts can be submitted to m.a.astola@tue.nl until Friday, 3rd of April 2020. You will be informed of the decision by the 10th.
