Digital Social Innovation and the future of Care

Digital Social Innovation and the Future of Care

We are happy to invite you to join our opencare conference taking place in Milan on 22nd and 23rd of November.

Conference Documentation

We’ll discuss what are the new models for community care and how are they gaining ground thanks to digital technologies. What urban or organizational conditions can facilitate the spread of open and collaborative care systems? What is the role of new digital manufacturing players in processes of social innovation and care?

The conclusion of the European project opencare is a real chance to tackle these themes with both local and global communities, with researchers, key international experts and policy makers.
