EIPA in partnership with NESTA, the leading UK independent charity backing innovation, and Design for Europe invite you to the Public Sector Innovation Lab, which will take place in Barcelona on 10-11 December 2015. This interactive seminar will pave the way towards more strategic and systematic approaches to innovation. This will include the reform potential of digital technologies, improved access to services, co-design and co-creation, involving citizens and/or businesses in new service designs and/or modernisation processes, as well as diverse means of innovation management.

Participants will actively apply and be familiarised with two different leading practical innovation methodologies – design thinking and innovation strategy approaches – to gain inspiration and tools that can be applied to their own national, regional or local contexts.  These interactive workshops will be accompanied by first hand examples of public sector innovation showcased in the European Public sector Award (EPSA) – the European network of public sector excellence generating valuable know-how and vital results.
