Transdiscliplinary Innovation
'Transdiscliplinary Innovation' was one of the seminars of DEAF07.
[slide shown in one of the presentations]
This seminar investigates the current state of affairs of trans- and interdisciplinary collaborations between the arts, sciences, design and technology, and their effects on the innovation landscape and our social environment. The internationally acknowledged group of speakers from different settings brings forward their specific interest in research and development from other disciplines. With casestudies they illustrate successful approaches and experienced obstacles. In the plenary session, lead by Bert van Meggelen (NL), director of Bureau Maatwerk, the basic conditions for new types of trans disciplinary innovation are among the topics of debate and how these can be fostered and supported in an urban environment such as Rotterdam. The seminar will close down with a drink for socializing and networking.
