21st Century Innovation:  How ICT will change the way universities, companies and governments think 

A dinner debate organised by Science|Business

 

Improving the way Europe innovates is high on the political agenda in Brussels these days – but more foresight is needed on how the nature of innovation is likely to change in coming years, due to new technologies.

Data-intensive science, the ‘Fourth Paradigm’ in scientific research, collaborative innovation, crowd-sourcing – these are all trends already underway and already having an impact on policy. But what’s next?  How could emerging ICT technologies disrupt the best-laid plans of policy makers?

Science|Business is organising a dinner debate on the topic, with an intimate group of leading academics, industry and policy officials.

Featured Guest: Dan Reed, Corporate Vice President, Technology Policy Group, Microsoft
