PASTE YOUR PAPER TITLE HERE
This template describes the formatting requirements for
submitting your abstract to the Participatory Innovation
Conference. The template is kindly on loan from the
Nordic Design Research Conference (www.nordes.org).
All submissions to the conference must use this format,
but an extended template will be available later for
paper submissions. The easiest way to prepare your
abstract is simply to use this document, replacing the
content with your own.
FORMATTING GUIDELINES
Please submit without author name and other identifiers
for double-blind peer review. Keep the abstract within 1
page (750 words). If you choose to include sample
images, graphs or tables you may extend onto page 2.
Diagrams and images are encouraged. To provide video
with your paper, please contact the chairs of your track
for instructions.
Format for A4 page size (21x29.7cm) with 2cm margins
on all sides. Columns should be of the same width, with
an 0.8 cm space in between. Paragraph and line spacing
are applied automatically if you use the Microsoft Word
styles: Choose Normal, Heading 1, Heading 2, Caption
etc. Do not include headers or footers.
ILLUSTRATIONS
Even though an Abstract doesn’t have an abstract, the
opening paragraph should be a concise statement of the
issue you are addressing, why it is interesting, your
approach or idea, and how it contributes to the field of
participatory innovation.
TRACK X: SUBMISSION TYPE
Each track of the conference accepts different types of
submissions, e.g. Conceptual Paper, Business Case,
Intent to Analyse, Showcase Video. In the first section
heading, please indicate the track number and
submission type. This will decide how the reviewers
evaluate your submission! Describe here how you aim
to contribute to this conference track. Also, describe
how you may be able to interact with other authors.
Look for examples of the various submission types in
the proceedings from previous years.
THE STRUCTURE OF YOUR ABSTRACT
How you present your contribution largely depends on
which type of submission you choose. You may want to
indicate on which literature and theory you build, and
why you think it is useful. If based on empirical work,
you will explain the context of your study or activity,
and tell how you gathered, saved and analyzed your
data.
For a scientific argument, you will include a methods
section to allow outsiders to judge how you get to your
claims. For cases and experience reports you may
instead choose a narrative style. As participatory
innovation is a practice field, you may consider
including thoughts on how your claims, experiences or
results may be useful in practice. A discussion will
critically reflect on what you learned in your study and
compare this learning to theory.

Tables should use the ‘Table text’ style for internal text
and bold text for table headings.
