Please choose for an automatically translated version of the whole academy homepage the translation icon at the top of the site.

Innovation is crucial for economic development, but it may also foster sustainable development and serve societal goals. While public perception tends to regard innovation as science-based and technology-oriented, this conference seeks to deepen the understanding of the Doing-Using-Interacting (DUI) mode of innovation that is employed by small and medium-sized enterprises in particular, and is characterized by incremental innovation using tacit or experience knowledge and know-how.

 

Rückblick

About 75 scientists and practitioners discussed, how innovations of this kind can be fostered and better considered in innovation policy. For a detailed conference report, please press the red button “Zum Tagungsprotokoll”.
