Early registration: July 30. ----------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PARTICIPATION XI IFIP 8.6 Working Conference OPEN IT-BASED INNOVATION: MOVING TOWARDS COOPERATIVE IT TRANSFER AND KNOWLEDGE DIFFUSION October 22-24, 2008, Madrid, Spain http://ifip8-6.ceditec.etsit.upm.es

Today, most innovative firms in the IT sector cannot possess all the knowledge and business assets they need to be competitive. They must frequently rely on formal and informal agreements with partners not only in order to cooperate in technology/product development or system integration, but also to complete their capabilities in the associated technology transfer or diffusion activities. As a consequence, technology based innovation processes are changing to adapt themselves to deep changes in organizational contexts and they are becoming more open. To analyze this changing and challenging situation, the Eleventh IFIP 8.6 Working Conference will provide a forum where practitioners and researchers will be able to interact and exchange experiences about how to foster innovation using open IT-based strategies of collaboration and knowledge diffusion.

TECHNICAL PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS

The event agenda includes: - 30 multidisciplinary papers, - Three distinguished keynote speakers, Dr. Irving Wladawsky-Berger (IBM Academy of Technology and Visiting Professor at MIT), Dr. Rainer Zimmermann (Head of Unit for Future Networks, European Commission) and Dr. Karlheinz Kautz (Professor at the Copenhagen Business School), who will provide a firsthand analysis of real cases of open innovation strategies and policies to promote new collaboration models. - Two roundtables, that will combine both academic and practitioner panelists, to generate debate on �Open Innovation in Mobile and Convergent Communications� and �Corporate Experiences in Open Technology Transfer�.

If you haven't registered yet, please visit the conference web site for detailed information. Early bird registration is available until July 30.
