[fg-arc] Call for Participation: S2I-RIDI 2023

[Jung, Jürgen]

We kindly invite you to participate in the First International Workshop on Research for Impact in Digital Innovation (RIDI). The event will be hosted by Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences (Germany) in close cooperation with HAN UAS (Arnhem, the Netherlands), Utrecht UAS (the Netherlands), and TU Wien (Austria).

The workshop will be held on March 20-21, 2023. It will be a 'physical' event, so not hybrid. The attendance fee is 110,- EUR (Early bird: 90,- EUR) and covers participation, catering as well as the workshop dinner.

More information on the event is provided on the respective web site: https://sites.google.com/view/s2i/home

Objective
The first European workshop on Research for Impact in Digital Innovation (RIDI) aims to bring together practitioners and researchers who are working in the area of digital innovation.

Topics like Digital Transformation and Business Model Innovation are currently driving initiatives in industry; not only to introduce new technologies but also to gain significant business benefits. Hence, technology is not just seen as a means on its own but as one factor among others. Each digitally innovative project needs to incorporate the context of an organisation (market, customer segments) as well as its organisation and staff members. Challenges during such an endeavour are manifold. As a result, there is also an increased need in practice for more explicit guidance in terms of lessons learned, methods, approaches, principles, and design concepts.

Developing, and operationalizing, such explicit guidance entails demand-driven research and education, requiring synergies between applied research and practice. It also sparks a need for effective research methods that balance real world needs and contexts with scientific rigour.

In line with this, the workshop aims to provide a platform for individuals contributing to the development of explicit guidance for digital innovation by using research methods. This includes practitioners and academics, including researchers within the context of technical and applied sciences. The platform fosters exchange by discussing success stories and experiences from the field together with methodological approaches. It, furthermore, represents a trigger for shaping a research agenda together with corresponding methods in order to enable research in practice.

Topics
The workshop specifically addresses "researchers in practice" from various areas, including (but not limited to): computer science, business informatics, business information systems and enterprise architecture. Example topics are:
·   research and development (R&D) projects
·   lighthouse cases from applied science
·   meaning of "application" in terms of knowledge
·   methodological view incorporating "practice" as a first-class citizen
·   cases from practice "involving" research without "being" research
·   research happening without being scientific
·   applied science methodology
·   non-scientific R&D and how it meets science
·   targeted and structured literature review
·   design science and action design research

Workshop schedule
Day 1 (start 10:00h)
·   Get together (interactive workshop)
·   Cases and methods in research in practice (presentations)
·   Collecting ideas (workshop)
