Creation of a Social Innovation Map in Vienna
Posted by Clay Shirky
A workshop invitation, in Vienna later this week (so most relevant to CHI attendees) to make a "social innovation map", trying to describe where a good set of next moves might lie :
The workshop is convened by Convivio, the Network for People-Centred Interactive Design. (Convivio is the European Commission-funded network of sixteen research institutions and companies, from nine countries, that seeks to enhance social quality through the use of technology and design, software and hardware, research and the arts, in novel ways). http://www.convivionet.net/
Convivio's opportunity map is intended to describe a vision that will influence the research agenda for Information and Communications Technologies in Europe, and beyond. The map will be presented at the Information Societies (IST) conference in The Hague, on 15-17 November; at that event, planning for Europe's Seventh Framework Programme for research begins in earnest. After that, in May 2005, Convivio's vision will be the focus of an international conference.
The workshop is free, and open to non-members of Convivio. Designers, developers, researchers (and especially CHI participants) are welcome to help us ensure that social and cultural issues drive the innovation agenda.
The workshop runs from 09:30 to 14:00 on Monday 26 April.
