Do you have experience with remote user participation? Then you might be interested to submit a working paper for the workshop entitled

<div style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;"><font size="3"><span style="font-size:12pt;">The aim is to cover the methodological breadth of remote user participation in interaction design and include a critical discussion of developing practices.</span></font></div>
<div style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;"><font size="3"><span style="font-size:12pt;">Sustainable future needs participation. Co-creating digital futures is not easy due to various limitations of physical nature. As noted by several researchers and practitioners
the last twenty years, participation can be facilitated if we are not constrained by physical presence. Furthermore, COVID-19 has sped up the process of digital transformation in many aspects. Including academia, researchers in the field, have resolved to
remote and hybrid ways to develop design work. In participatory design, collaborations go beyond the mere inclusion of different stakeholders. Instead, stakeholders are involved in the co-creation process. The workshop participants will discuss their own and
each other’s experiences of adapting or inventing methods for remote use. Specifically, it would include critical discussion of old and new practices to see opportunities as well as limits in inclusiveness when user participation in digital design is conducted
”remotely”.</span></font></div>

<div style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;"><font size="3"><span style="font-size:12pt;">Full-day with up to 15 participants, of which 6-8 people will have papers that have been distributed to everyone. Each of these 6-8 papers will be discussed for about an
hour. For each paper, one person is appointed in advance as a chair for the discussion.</span></font></div>
<div style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;"><font size="3"><span style="font-size:12pt;">We prefer to have this in-person as we hold the community building is facilitated by meeting also during the rest of the conference. The European Conference on Information
Systems (ECIS) 2023 will be held in Kristiansand, Norway, in June 11-16. Workshops are held in Monday-Tuesday June 12-13.

<div style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;"><font size="3"><span style="font-size:12pt;">At the end of the workshop there will be a discussion of a next step: for instance, is it worth to work towards a joint publication (a special issue or a book) on the topic
of the workshop, or is it better to prepare to propose tracks on next/future ECIS on requirements and design methods with extended user participation? Follow-up meetings will be held in Zoom.</span></font></div>
