Conference: Innovation as Search on a Space of Possibilities

拟议的研讨会将汇集对创新概念（探索组合可能性）做出理论和经验贡献的研究人员。 来自不同学科（生物学、经济学、工程学、管理科学、考古学、人类学、物理学、数学）学者们认真研究了人类社会和组织中创新的起源和动力，无论是在时间上还是在规模上。（从城市到公司到国家经济）以复杂性科学为基础目标是评估这一概念的有用性，以及是否可以建立一个对政策有用的通用和正式的创新框架，如搜索。

The proposed workshop will bring together researchers who have contributed both theoretically and empirically to the concept of innovation as a search of combinatorial possibilities. From a variety of disciplines (biology, economics, engineering, management science, archaeology, anthropology, physics, mathematics) scholars have seriously engaged with the origins and dynamics of innovation in human societies and organizations, across time and across scale (from cities to firms to national economies) informed by complexity science The objective is to assess how useful the concept has been, and whether a general and formal framework of innovation as search can be built that would be useful to policy.
