Excursions to the most happening parts of the local Copenhagen scene.
A DRUID institution, the Afterparty will yet again bring DRUIDs together in dining, drinking and dancing the night away.
Special Flavor: the Microgeography of Innovation
In addition to the extensive regular program, the DRUID16 comes with the Special Flavor the Microgeography of Innovation, featuring scientific as well as social activities reflecting Microgeography, including paper sessions on the local geography of innovation and entrepreneurship, a special journal issue of Industry and Innovation, and keynotes by architects and designers aiming at promoting innovation. Naturally, DRUID16’s own microgeography will also be rethought and reworked, in order to maximize interaction and knowledge sharing between all participants.
On excursions and during the conference dinner and afterparty, DRUID16 will of course take advantage of its local connections in Copenhagen in order to expose conference participants to just how entertaining the city’s microgeography can be.
PDWs
Professional development workshops (PDWs) are focused, user driven sessions offering a way of sharing ideas, knowledge and expertise with peers in the DRUID community and develop new ideas and projects.
PDWs at DRUID16 take place 9.00-12.00 on June 13, 2016. All participants to DRUID16 can propose a PDW focused on a specific research subfield and/or targeting a specific group, e.g. PhD students, junior faculty, empiricists, theorists, etc.
