The section has been part of forming the international research areas of CSCW and PD, from before the first international conferences in the 1980s. Computer Supported Cooperative Work has been studied in many larger projects over the years, including EuroCoop/EuroCode, Palcom, and more recently the ERC project CIO. Currently the Rework project makes important contributions to CSCW through framework, theory and technological prototypes supporting hybrid work activities where people collaborate across collocated and remote settings. (#Nævn også Jens-Emil’s IPD?)
One important focus of the section’s research in this area is on dynamic configurations of multiple technologies (artefact ecologies).
Participatory Design has been a focus area of the Section since the early DUE and Utopia projects in the early 1980ies. Many projects throughout the section have been deploying PD methods such as workshops and hands-on prototyping. Specifically more recent projects have worked with NGO communities to pursue better and more controllable technologies for their joint use. Also PD has been important in the section’s recent work with schools and the educational system.
Members of the section have made important scientific contributions to these topics through theory, research and design methods, as well as technological designs and prototypes.
The section has continuously contributed the the development of a strong theoretical foundations in the areas of CSCW and PD. Notably, Bødkers early work on human activity theory (AT) in human-computer interaction based on the early PD experience in the UTOPIA project. The section has continued to contribute to the development of AT. While AT has been, and still is, pivotal for the sections theory work, the practice and pragmatics of the object at hand some times inspire the integration of diverse theories and approaches.
The section has had strong impact on the development of research method in Human Centred Computing.
The section's work on CSCW and PD has historical and ongoing impact on improving IT systems for human use through out society. The importance of this is increasing as interactive technologies pervade most parts of human life
The section has a long tradition of working with community groups, NGOs as well as companies and governmental agencies regarding these research topics. As example the current Rework project works with artists and artist organisations as well as a number of Danish and internal companies who does hybrid work or develops technologies for it.
