The organization team is very thankful to all of you who have done a big effort to submit their articles on time.

These submissions will be reviewed in a per pair process.

Nevertheless, most of you have asked the organization to arrange a new deadline in order to incorporate in your articles the conference discussions, or in order to make a better translation into English.

After consultations, we could fix this the new non extensible deadline on next December, 15^th.

Those of you who have senttheir works and who would like to review them and to send them to us again, of course you can. We have saved your current articles if you decide to send us a new version we will substitute them.

Best regards.

This conference was mainly organised by the University of HUELVA. We thank Blanca MIEDES and the team of the Local Observatory of Employment who made this event a success, which received 130 participants from 11 countries, with 50 communications and 104 authors.

Dr. De Paz provided participants with documents related to the issues treated in her speech. Few minutes were given to personal reflexion and writing notes in our papers. Debate was very animated due to the interesting contributions of participants, deeping in contents presented by the chair and coming with new ideas and aspects to be considered. Some of these contributions were related to think also in terms of the process or evolution from traditional research and participative AR. Some of the questions that arose were: How do we get to the aspects involved by AR? What are the obstacles to be overcome? Other issues were related to the importance of innovation within the process or the way policy is considered. Definition of every actor may be defined. Fears between different actors (including researchers) and financial issues were also pointed out.
