18th October: Transformative Innovation: The Policy Challenge for a Low Carbon Transition

Thursday 13 October 2011
Speaker: Professor Fred Steward, Professor of Innovation & Sustainability, Policy Studies Institute.
The transition to a low carbon society needs ‘transformative innovation’ which is pervasive, system wide and embraces technological and social change. It needs to address user focused sociotechnical systems such as mobility, housing, food, communication not supply driven singular technologies. Current public policies draw on confused and inappropriate metaphors of radical change.

A new challenge-led policy for transformative innovation for global sustainability is urgently needed and Fred will discuss this at this free event.

This is not an Innovation Network event.

This event is being held by the Cardiff School of City & Regional Planning and registration is direct, via their website, as per the link below.
