ECCI Calls for Co-Creation!!!
The 10th European Conference for Creativity & Innovation (ECCI
X) October 14-17 in Copenhagen is calling for contributions:
Case stories, toolbox presentations, problems for our Crack
the Nut workshops, hosts for our Creative Reflection Zones and
weird stuff…
Join a truly international event...
Currently, 224 persons have used the online registration for
ECCI X, covering almost the entire globe, all the way to New
Zealand, which is as far as you can get from Copenhagen. 35
countries from all continents are represented so far. So, our
vision of gathering 4-500 global trendsetters from the field
of creativity and innovation seems to succeed.
Call for contributions, It's now!
The purpose of every ECCI conference is to facilitate
co-operation and cross-fertilization between academics,
businesses and educators in the field of creativity &
innovation. Therefore, besides the academic “paper jam”
sessions, the conference hosts a variety of sessions where the
participants are invited to contribute in order to share
experiences and develop knowledge across disciplines.
The final deadline for submissions is June 1st, but
we strongly recommend you to submit your proposal as soon as
possible, since we review these continuously. We call for:
-
(Academic and Practical) Problems - to be presented
and discussed in the Crack the Nut Workshops.
-
Hosts
– each Creative Reflection Zone needs a host. Each
host facilitates a process of group reflection in between
the many sessions at the conference - "How can I use what I
have learned? - What is the SO WHAT?"
-
Cases
– short presentations of concrete projects and extraordinary
examples of creativity and innovation in action.
-
Toolbox
presentations. Please share your favourite tools and methods
by demonstrating them interactively! – send a description of
your favourite tool and how you would like to demonstrate
it.
-
Weird Stuff!
– does what you have in mind not match any of the
contribution formats above? Then submit anything you like to
the Weird Track.
Read more about the various session types at the website
www.eccix.org
, under “Call for contributions”, where you also can find the
submission form and see who is in the review committee. We had
the first submission deadline by March 1st, and we
received 40 proposals, which are currently being looked upon.
Please pass on this request to your network!
March 1st, we had the final deadline for academic
paper abstracts. We are proud to announce that 75 abstracts
have been submitted – this really raises our expectations for
the conference. The academic paper abstracts are currently
being reviewed.
The theme
The theme of the conference embraces many aspects of
creativity and innovation with a special focus on
“co-creation” – when development becomes a collective process,
in which the boarders between customers, users and developers
are dismantled.
The
team behind
The ECCI conferences are initiated by the European Association
for Creativity & Innovation (EACI). ECCI X is arranged by the
Danish Initiative for Creativity & Innovation (IKI),
Copenhagen Business School, Zentropa WorkZ and the Danish
