The co-working research project is aimed at advancing in the ways of working and organising of the future, both on a social and business sector level.
We based the project on the following hypotheses:
- Creating innovation is easier in open spaces where people with the desire to build something new can intermingle with people who have the necessary knowledge and those who will obtain the results, given that creativity abounds and ideas are more solid.
- Connecting these spaces can further boost these kinds of possibilities, giving regions a new dimension in terms of innovation. This connection should occur through the development of ICT platforms that are useful to all parties involved.
- Within the new knowledge society, innovation will contain a strong ICT component in almost all sectors, and it is necessary for institutions that support innovation and endeavours to have an understanding of these concepts (innovation, entrepreneurship and ICT) and serve as a model network to foster this dynamic.
Therefore, the project consists in creating an artefact to investigate these premises while simultaneously generating the operative elements with which to carry out said research. Subsequently, these can be transformed into tangible elements for society. Here tangible could mean training modules, methodologies, IT systems, collaborative networks, etc. that would contribute significantly to developing entrepreneurship that stems from open processes of innovation.
