The Dutch network participatory action research organises a conference on the subject of participatory research: ALARMP 7th & PAR 11th World Congress. It takes place in Groningen (The Netherlands), from August 21-25 2006. The central theme of this World Congress is: Standards and Ethics in participatory research. Attention is also paid to the role of participatory research as a means of (self) reflection. There are already 336 participants, and as you can see at the website, they are from various countries in the world. This promises to be an interesting conference with speakers who are specialised in different areas (how nice to meet a research and evaluation theorist or how would it be to have a coffee with a professor in the area of identity and talent and network organisations).
