OCAD University
DEEP 2016: Designing Enabling Economies and Policies
Education
Toronto, Ontario
October 13, 2016 - October 14, 2016
http://deep.idrc.ocadu.ca/agenda/
Please join us for the 5th annual DEEP 2016: Designing Enabling Economies and Policies & ICT Discovery Lab on October 13-14, 2016 at OCAD University in Toronto. This year our focus will be on four critical questions:

· Can we design an inclusive and sustainable innovation agenda for Canada and globally?

· How do we leverage emerging systems and practices to re-connect and foster more inclusive communities?

· Can we create blueprints and roadmaps for more inclusive cities, spaces, and travel?

· How can we design inclusive policies suited to the quickly changing complex adaptive systems we live in?

This year we welcome the participation of four initiatives that each bring essential perspectives to the DEEP agenda, namely: international collaboration, platforms for inclusive prosperity, privacy, and life-long learning.

In the tradition begun in 2012, this event to plan meaningful change will bring together a diversity of fresh perspectives, new ideas, together with seasoned experience, and insight gained from failures and successes. DEEP participants know that digital inclusion is necessary and urgent. We don’t need to persuade each other of the “why”. This allows us to focus our time together during the think tank on the “how”? We will spend our collective time and talents to design strategies, plans, collaborative projects, cross-sector initiatives and new disruptive ways to foster more inclusive prosperity, privacy, and life-long learning.

Knowing your interest, experience and insights relevant to this important challenge, we invite you to participate in this critical think tank. We’ve kept fees as low as possible:

Fees for participants from the EU are covered through Discovery

Project: $0 General Admission: $100 + HST Student Admission: $50 + HST
