Track 16: From grassroot to citizen-centric innovation: the collective design of emerging innovation ecosystems
This track will address new co-productive paths in design-driven innovation. Grassroots and frugal innovation processes and advocates have been fostering in recent years new collective-based forms of knowledge production (collaborative, open, challenge-based).
This change is happening in the framework of a sociotechnical mix, in which the principles of collaborative economy and co-design are profoundly influencing traditional design processes, especially in sectors such as healthcare, food, transportation, and fashion.
We especially encourage abstracts that address how this trend challenges conventional techno-scientific frameworks, such as academic research, industry R&D departments, traditional methodologies, closed laboratory settings. Case studies, as well as theoretical argumentations and field overviews, are welcome. Abstracts can be submitted in English or Italian. Papers will be presented in English.
To read a thorough description go here.
Abstracts should be submitted by February, 10 to the conference email address () and to ourselves. Submission should include author’s name and surname, institution and email address, abstract’s title, abstract’s text (no more than 300 words all included).
The conference (see the website) will be an opportunity to present empirical and theoretical work from a variety of disciplines and fields: sociology, anthropology, design, economics, history, law, philosophy, psychology and semiotics. By focusing on “Technoscience from Below”, the 7th STS Italia Conference will offer the opportunity to explore alternative co-productive paths of science, technology, and innovation.
