Invitation for the 2nd Convention of the Sustainability Maker Project

May 29th 2015 from 9:00 to 18:30 at Politecnico di Milano

The 2nd convention of the Sustainability Maker project (funded by European LIFE+ programme) is coming to Milan this May as part of the EXPO2015 events. During the convention, current crowd-led approaches to sustainability innovation such as crowd-sourcing, open innovation, crowd-voting and crowd-funding will be explored. Companies, institutions, NGOs, designers, researchers and students are invited to help test innonatives, the world’s first open-innovation platform that combines all of these approaches to foster design for sustainability (www.innonatives.com). Participation in the workshop is free of charge and provides a great opportunity to launch own sustainability projects on the platform.
