symposium

The inaugural coCreationcamp #01 took place in 2011, on Nov. 20 and 21, in Brussels. The Symposium Day on Nov. 21 allowed to look at dimensions of co-creation. The day before, on November 20, we explored specific themes in workshops.

Speakers, ranging from a wide variety of areas, will share their points of view about co-creation, collaboration, open innovation, crowd sourcing, …

coCreationcamp is an enabling infrastructure for the generation of ideas and hence is playing a catalyst role. coCreation looks at innovation mechanisms designing and producing “with” people, and not only “for” people.

Each slot (P for People, for Public, for Private, for Platform) will allow speakers to share different positions and interact with participants. Join the conversations ! The speakers are listed here and will take part actively during the day, interacting with others point of view, bringing critical discourse, reframing issues and approaches.
