Culture matters for innovation, say entrepreneurs and politicians. But their high expectations raise questions. How do professional, urban or organizational cultures help the new to emerge? When does intercultural confrontation foster creative potentials? Can artistic interventions change the pace with which innovations develop and spread? Are there general patterns or rules to guide organisations or political decision makers when they plan to innovate?
The symposium explores the claims, confronts them with evidence from academic and entrepreneurial experiences, and provides a European policy-maker's view on the agenda for research and innovation.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
