Due to the extensive scientific background in innovation management, entrepreneurship and crowdbusiness, isn is a well known partner in international research projects, provides lectures at universities and organizes trainings, coachings and talks.
The following list provides an overview of some of our research projects:
INCUBATORS - Crowdsourcing and Crowdfunding for Public Spaces
Designing cities, regions and places by the crowd
The Incubators of Public Places provide the means to grow and care for places. What makes a place is the integration of spatial forms, built and open, that favours the interactions of people as they inhabit those spaces. In an Incubator, you can go online or join a public meeting, to shape easily your own scenario for the place, with clear and simple 3D models of spaces – as expect to be: flying through and walking around, exploring and making changes. Then, crowdfund the scenario, to provide your support, revamping the city as enjoyably as buying a book online.
