Participant information sheet
This Event of the ‘Embracing Complexity in Design 2’ Research Cluster is part of the UK AHRC and
EPSRC Research Initiative ‘Designing for the 21st Century’.
The Event comprises a Symposium and Workshops, with inter-disciplinary audience participation, Keynote
presentations & performances, and Networking. Hosted on the Friday 23rd February by the SMARTlab
Digital Media Institute in its MAGIC (Multimedia & Games Innovation Centre) studios, at the Docklands
Campus of the University of East London, it aims to stimulate intellectual academic exchange between
researchers and practitioners dealing with complexity theory and the Design-Arts.
This document explains the processes around the capture, editing, storage and dissemination of video,
audio and photographic data created during the study.
Participants as researchers/researchers as participants. In this project participants are also researchers
and have been invited to take part in the research because of their existing interests in the topic.
Participants ask questions about the study before they decide whether to participate and during the project.
What the study involves. There are several events contributing to the ECiD2 Cluster project, with the
purpose to help explore the relationship between complexity science and design.
Data capture, storage, editing and dissemination. During the events and case study projects, video,
audio and photographic data will be captured. Data will be stored in a variety of media in the principal
investigator’s office at ECiD, or with co-investigators. Data will be reviewed and edited by the lead
investigator team with the help, where relevant, of professional editors and technicians. Selected edited
data will be made available to all participants. Some edited data will be disseminated by the study’s
publications including public websites. At the end of the study, selected edited data selected by the lead
investigators will be archived. Participants may request access to the raw data for up to one year after the
end of the project (up to 31 October 2008) by contacting the principal investigator.
Risks involved in the study. None known.
Withdrawal from the project. Invited participants can choose whether they participate and, if they agree
by returning an RSVP after invitation, or registering and/or attending on the day, they may withdraw
from the study prior to the start of the Magic in Complexity Event by advising the principal investigator of
this decision. Participants agree to cooperate with the principal investigator during the Event and in the
preparation of its proceedings, by signing the consent form.

Design and Innovation, Faculty of Technology, The Open University, Walton Hall, Milton Keynes, MK7 6AA,

Participant consent form
Embracing Complexity in Design 2 is an interdisciplinary research project initiated by Principal investigator
- Jeffrey Johnson, Professor of Complexity Science and Design at the Open University, and co-investigators Professor Eve Mitleton-Kelly of the London School of Economics, and Alec Robertson of De Montfort
University. It is supported by the Designing for the 21st Century initiative funded jointly by the AHRC and
EPSRC.
The purpose of this document is for the participant to give informed consent about the use of video, audio
and photographic records created, edited, stored and disseminated during the project and for proceedings
of the Magic in Complexity Event. Please address questions to the principal investigator: Professor Jeffrey Johnson, Department of Design and Innovation, Faculty of Technology, The Open University, Walton

I, the undersigned, declare that
- I have read the participant information sheet
- I have had the opportunity to ask questions about the study and have received satisfactory answers to
questions, and any additional details requested
- I understand that I may withdraw from the study without penalty prior to the start of the Magic in Complexity Event by advising the principal investigator of this decision
- I understand who will have access to data captured, how the data will be stored; and what will happen to
the data at the end of the project
- and I therefore agree to participate in this study.
