Pursuing Innovation for a Smart & Sustainable Future

The 23rd CINet conference “Pursuing Innovation for a Smart & Sustainable Future” will take place in Pisa, Italy,  hosted by the Dipartimento di Ingegneria of the University of Pisa on 11-13 September, 2022.

The Continuous Innovation Network (CINet) is a global network set up to bring together researchers and practitioners working in the field of Continuous Innovation and related areas of research and practice. The mission of CINet is to progressively become a school of thought on Continuous Innovation. Consistent with this mission, CINet organizes an annual conference.

The conference theme, “Pursuing Innovation for a Smart & Sustainable Future”, reflects the need to no longer conceive innovation and sustainability as separate, albeit interacting, concepts, but as a conjoint notion. 

Researchers wishing to contribute to the conference are invited to submit a structured abstract for either a regular paper or a research note (in Word format) of 750-1000 words (references not included) by April 9, 2022.
The abstract should address:

• Theoretical and empirical background and relevance.
• Research objectives, problem and/or hypotheses.
• Research design.
• Analysis and discussion.
• Expected contribution.

All final submissions need to be done by email to the conference secretariat. All submissions will undergo a double blind peer review. The outcome of the review will be sent to the authors by May 15, 2022. 

If your abstract is accepted you will be asked to submit a PowerPoint presentation, not a full paper, before September 1 to the conference secretariat. Please also submit a brief summary of your presentation for inclusion in the CINet Conference Book of Abstracts.
