The Open Lab Exploration Innovation
Core Focus: Developing an epistemic community centered on exploration and innovation.

The Open Lab Exploration Innovation is a platform for interaction between researchers and practitioners (managers, entrepreneurs, consultants) seeking to advance together in the fields of exploration and innovation. Two types of knowledge are prioritized: scientific knowledge, validated through publication in academic journals; and practical knowledge, validated through real-world application and associated outcomes.

Lead: Pascal Lièvre, Professor Emeritus (Université Clermont Auvergne)
