We would like to see all our citizen participants, collaboration partners, colleagues, friends and other good people who have been around during our Give&Take project. Three years of exciting explorations of co-designing community building and sharing together are coming to an end. Come and celebrate the rich experience and interesting results with us!
I am Associate Professor in Interaction Design at IT University of Copenhagen, affiliated with the section People and Computational Things (PACT), and the IxD Research Group. I have PhD in Informatics, with a focus on computer supported collaborative learning, but since then my focus in research and teaching has rather been interaction design, participatory design and co-design, and mobile and ubiquitous computing (in particular place-centric computing). I have around 15 years experience from research in these areas.
Lately I have focused particularly on co-design, infrastructuring and design for sharing, with resource-weak stakeholders in socially challenged non-work settings. I have done case studies in Cape Town, South Africa, where I was Adjunct Professor at Cape Peninsula University of Technology for four years. My role in the project will be to participate as researcher with a focus on co-design approaches and design for sharing, and will also be co-authoring research outcomes from the project.
I am a research assistant at the IT University of Copenhagen and hold a MSc in Digital Design and Communication. My special interest is within the field of User Centered Design and Co-Design, especially how to involve and engage users through various methods. I work with an explorative approach to the design methods and like to experiment. I have worked with enactment, scenarios, video sketching, personas, research through design and co-design. With a former background in theater and acting I have also explored how to use methods from this field into the field of design.
In the Give&Take project my role is to take part in planning, conducting and documenting activities with the citizens on Frederiksberg, such as dialogue meetings, workshops and living labs. I enjoy being in contact with the citizens and learn a lot about sharing communities.
I’m a PhD fellow at the IT University of Copenhagen. I have a background in sociology and digital design. During my PhD I have participated in a user-driven innovation project: Senior Interaktion about developing new service concepts and technology for the public sector with involvement of stakeholders and senior citizens. I have worked with a special interest in co-design with focus on participation and involvement of citizens.
I am an Associate Professor in the Interaction Design Research Group at the IT University of Copenhagen. I hold an MSc in Computer Science and Danish Literature & Language, and a PhD in Computer Science / Informatics. My current research focuses on interaction design in the area of design related to social aspects of aging. 2014 to 2017 I am the scientific coordinator of Give&Take. Recently I participated in two research projects: SeniorInteraction, and the LevVel Mødestedet also focusing on design in the area of aging. My future research agenda generally focuses on Interaction Design for a Good Life. I have been a co-editor of Digital Creativity since 1998. Further I have been a member of the Danish Disability Council since early 2011. I love novels, poetry and nerdy cooking.
In this project am very interested in exploring how to do infrastructuring for exchange of human skills, competencies and things, and in understanding how we can change society and give new meaning to welfare, solidarity, participation and citizenship.
My primary role in this project is to be the scientific coordinator and through this make sure that we establish a good dialogue and strong collaboration in the project, and communicate our results to people that for different reasons find this project interesting.
I am an Associate professor in the People and Computational Things (PACT) section and the IxD Research Group at the IT University of Copenhagen. I have a Ph.D. in Telematics and Information society with a focus on Participatory Design and pervasive healthcare IT. I have 13+ years of experience working with, and designing, healthcare technologies. I have been teaching university classes for eight years; for example in Service Design, Physical computing and Participatory Design.
I have an interest in designing for everyday wellbeing, health and healthcare, especially for non-clinical settings and use. I’m interested in infrastructuring, co-design in non-work settings and civic engagement. I have done much work on care networks and collaboration between formal and informal (care) actors.
My role in the project will be to participate in research, for example related to co-design of services and other systems and technologies to support Give & Take. I will also be involved in co-authoring scientific papers.
My background is an MA in Sociology. I did my thesis on European Identity in Educational Area. I have a passion for applied sociology – to work with and understand how institutional structures, rules and obligations affects everyday life and work.
I have worked within in Research Support for the past 9 years as a project manager of EU and National funded research projects employed by the IT University of Copenhagen.
I am the administrative coordinator for Give&Take and look forward to increase my expertice within the the AAL programme – understanding a new sets of rules and to develop new tools and practices to facilitate the development of the Give&Take.
I happily share food, nice weather, childrens toys and Christmas cookies – meeting early or in the afternoon – I take my coffee with loads of sugar and milk.
I am a research assistant at the IT University of Copenhagen. My background is in social anthropology and I am interested in civic engagement, grassroots movements, creative approaches to participatory design and participatory action research. I have ethnographic experience studying arts-based community outreach projects in San Francisco and Yucatán. Before gaining my MS in Anthropology I worked in the field of communications in Italy and the U.S., and as a fine art printmaker in Copenhagen.
The Give&Take project is a wonderful opportunity for me to understand how social engagement can be used to empower senior citizens, and how it can improve their mental health.
My favorite thing to share is music.
