Rethinking Innovation Through the Lens of Low-Tech: Simplicity, Resilience, and Inclusion – University of Rouen Normandy – Deadline (abstract) February 28, 2027

Calenda Listing 1,438,013 (excerpts)

It describes the intertwining of multiple systemic crises: ecological crises resulting from the overshoot of planetary boundaries; energy crises stemming from resource constraints; and social, economic, and political crises marked by growing distrust of institutions. In this context, low-tech is emerging as a major alternative to the dominant models of innovation promoted as the engine of capitalism.
