What this research studies
This research focuses on organizing and facilitating innovation labs, which are intensive workshops designed to bring together diverse participants from various disciplines to collaboratively address complex problems. The planning team will secure a contractor to help design and execute these labs, fostering creativity and collaboration among participants. Over a five-day residential program, 25 to 30 selected individuals will engage in creative problem-solving activities aimed at generating innovative ideas and strategies. This approach emphasizes teamwork and the sharing of knowledge across different fields to tackle intractable issues.
