Technologies for Political and Social Innovation: Joint Workshop Stanford / ParisTech (Paris, Dec. 3, 2013)

In the last few months, with a small team of dedicated colleagues from Mines Paristech and Telecom Paristech (all belonging to the newborn i3 – Interdisciplinary Institute on Innovation), we’ve been working on a partnership with Stanford’s Peace Innovation Lab (PIL).
