Dear Colleagues

 

Several people have informed me that the attached file for the CFP for the Copenhagen Co-Creation conference was faulty. I resubmit the CFP in this mail for the benefit of the community.

 

CALL for PAPERS

 

COPENHAGEN CO-CREATION CONFERENCE

- Co-Creating Innovative Technologies for Future Markets -

 

The Copenhagen Business School (CBS) and Danish Design Association invite you to participate in the 2nd Copenhagen Co-Creation Conference on ‘Co-creating Innovative Technologies for Future Markets’.

 

The conference will take place on

September 1. & 2.

Copenhagen Business School, Denmark

www.cocreatech.dk

 

 

Call for Submissions and Participation 

 

Design and Innovation is increasingly becoming an important lever for creating new opportunities for companies as new technologies emerge, creating new markets.

 

Co-creation is an innovative way to combine resources across different knowledge platforms and geographical regions. Co-creation is the process of visualizing, designing, combining and developing an artifact or systems that support the commercialization of that artifact. The focus of co-creation is to seek and design new and future markets.  The process of co-creation is as much a process of coordination as it is of knowledge generation, construction and instruction. Co-creation implies the coming together of diverse, non-similar knowledge bases to collectively identify an opportunity and pool their knowledge and resources together to take advantage of the opportunity. In co-creation of IT innovation, information technology - with its domain flexible knowledge - drives the opportunity identification and goal setting.

 

The 2nd Copenhagen Co-Creation Conference will gather stakeholders from the academia, the industry and the civil society to create an environment of proactive dialogue about co-creation. The goal of the conference is to explore how markets can be identified, formed and explored via co-creation processes, and how markets redefine themselves and evolve by engaging with co-creation; and how Information and Communication Technology (ICT) can assist the process of co-creation over time and space.

 

The conference will address both the managerial and entrepreneurial challenges of engaging with ‘co-creation’ as a concept and the academic challenges of researching on co-creating innovation for future markets.

 

The 2nd Copenhagen Co-Creation Conference is organized with an academic summit the 1st of September, and a industry-focused workshop on the 2nd of September.

 

The conference will seek to explore co-creation from (at least) two perspectives:

 

·       Allow a space for the industry to populate the concept of co-creation with ideas from practice (either the ones being used or planned to be used) along with possible difficulties and challenges involved due to organizational constraints.

·       Allow a space for academics to draw upon research and develop models, tools and techniques that would enrich the idea of co-creation. 

 

 

For submission guidelines and additional information, consult the conference website: www.cocreatech.dk (launches formally late February 2011).

 

Target Audience  

The conference is expected to gather and inspire academics, professionals, researchers, activists, managers, entrepreneurs, think-tanks and leaders who would deliberate upon the opportunities and challenges of building a future market through Co-creation models. It will draw upon experiences, expertise, and knowledge-sharing from across the academia, government, civil society, community of practitioners, international organizations, bilateral and multilateral agencies.
