SUMMARY:Culture(s) and Innovation: Claims, Evidence and Policy
DESCRIPTION:Wissenschaftszentrum Berlin für Sozialforschung
	 gGmbH\NSymposium\N\NCulture 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? \N\NThe
	 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.
