INNOVATION IN MIND is an annual event aimed at people who are curious about the future and want to see new connections and opportunities. The point of departure is that all innovation begins in human consciousness, and often through cross-boundary meetings between different areas of knowledge, between resources and needs, between questions and answers. The aim of Innovation in Mind is to be an arena for such meetings — to encourage new perspectives and new ways of thinking, and to contribute to a better climate for innovation. Lund University and Region Skåne arrange innovation in Mind in cooperation with VINNOVA (The Swedish Governmental Agency for Innovation Systems), the City of Lund and partners.
Some starting points for INNOVATION IN MIND 2011:
Do innovation systems create the prerequisites for the unexpected and fantastic, or are we throwing money away? Is true innovation about developing new technology, or is the emphasis rather on creating astute models for bringing knowledge into the open and making it useful? Are we devoting too much energy to solving yesterday’s problems, while tomorrow’s remain unsolved? Can uncertainties in the world be a driving force for finding new solutions to increasingly difficult challenges . . . . and has anyone thought about evaluating innovations on the basis of what makes us free, happy and feeling good?
Our ambition is to provide you with knowledge, understanding, perspectives, insights and new contacts that you can implement in your daily life — and in the way you think.
INNOVATION IN MIND 2011 will take place in and around the University Quadrangle in Lund for 24 hours, starting at noon on 14 September.
We have invited a number of outstanding innovators and experts on innovation from various areas. We will participate in a number of exciting tales, theories, predictions and actions, lines of thought that meet and ideas that are born. And just as important as what happens on the stage and in the rostrum are the spontaneous meetings, conversations and exchanges of ideas that will come up when so many people with common interests and innovation in mind gather in truly exciting surroundings. So come, take part and be inspired!
