Assistant Professor Christopher LeDantec has been busy this summer.

On June 11, 2013, he was Invited Panel Chair at the Symposium on Urban Informatics, a symposium that brought together designers, city planners and managers, technologists, scholars and entrepreneurs to explore the frontiers of the urban environment. The conference was held at Drexel University.

From August 12 to 22, 2013, LeDantec will participate in SummerPIT, a two-week summer school at the Center for Participatory Information Technology at Aarhus University. For those two weeks, PIT hosts SummerPIT, which brings together international researchers from across PIT-related research areas, local researchers, and PhD students. Part of SummerPIT is a PhD school where students get a chance to join talks and other activities, in combination with jointly carrying out design workshops where they explore a number of approaches and methods to participatory IT and participatory design.
