University of Applied Management, Steinheilstrasse 4, 85737 Ismaning, Germany // 29th July, 2017
International conference launching the “Institute for Creativity and Innovation (ICI)”
The Institute
Traditionally, creativity and innovation are examined separately in terms of research and practical endeavors, even though they are indispensable from each other. Contrary to this traditional approach, the Institute for Creativity and Innovation (ICI) seeks to reunite creativity and innovation combining knowledge and studies about creativity and innovation from different disciplines and across cultures. Through the interdisciplinary and intercultural approach, the ICI strives to promote a holistic understanding of the antecedents, development and management of creativity and innovation at both individual and organizational levels.
The current areas of expertise of the ICI include: Culture & Creativity, Creativity & Innovation across Domains, Creativity & Innovation in Education, Innovation Management & Entrepreneurship.
The Conference
“Creativity Meets Innovation: Dialogues across Domains” combines three events together to mark the launch of the ICI:
- An international conference which brings researchers, practitioners, students and professors from the fields of psychology, education, business and engineering to exchange ideas and experiences about the study and practice of creativity and innovation
- A get-together of the authors of the Handbook of the Management of Creativity and Innovation: Theory and Practice (www.worldscientific.com/worldscibooks/10.1142/10086)
- A get-together of the alumni of the creativity summer schools, such as ACAD Summer School (www.china2011.fham.de) and the EMCI Intensive Program (www.emci.fham.de)
Post-Conference Summary
