The decennial Aarhus conferences have traditionally been instrumental for setting new agendas for critically engaged thinking about information technology. The conference series is fundamentally interdisciplinary and emphasizes thinking that is firmly anchored in action, intervention, and scholarly critical practice. In 2015, it is considered that critical alternatives in alignment with utopian principles—that is, the hope that things might not only be different but also radically better. The fifth decennial Aarhus conference, Critical Alternatives, aimed to set new agendas for theory and practice in computing for quality of human life.

During the conference, SENSE4US was presented and discussed at the workshop with the title “Unfolding Participation. What do we mean by participation – conceptually and in practice” by our project partner Dr. Somya Joshi from Stockholm University.

SENSE4US will be presented at the 14th IFIP EGOV and 7th ePart Conference 2015, 30th August – 2nd September 2015, Thessaloniki, Greece
