Prof. Maurizio Teli will talk about participatory design for sustainable computing followed by a hands-on activity with cards and Q&A.

How can Participatory Design research contribute to Sustainable Computing? How can we teach Participatory Design for Sustainable Computing? By drawing upon more than ten years of experience in Participatory Design, the seminar will provide answers based on research practice at the European level and on education activities at the master and doctoral level.

During the seminar, examples will be drawn from existing literature, local initiatives, e.g. TECH4SDT, and large scale research projects, e.g., PIE News/Commonfare, OBAMA-NEXT.

In conclusion, suggestions will be provided on what to take into account while setting up research and teaching activities related to Participatory Design for Sustainable Computing.

This seminar will be open to researchers and students and it will consist of a talk (approximately 40 minutes), a hands-on activity with cards (approximately 20 minutes), and Q&A.
