DESCRIPTION:*Launch of NESTA Connect - Innovation is a Contact Sport*
\n
\n
 NESTA Connect is a new programme\, focused on creating new\, unexpected or 
 extreme collaborations - blurring the traditional boundaries between discip
 lines\, organisations and places. We believe such collaboration has the pot
 ential to generate radical\, transformation innovation.   To test our theor
 y\, NESTA Connect will develop a series of partnerships over the next three
  years\, exploring how best to structure and support 'collaboration for inn
 ovation'. 
\n
\nOur initial focus is on interdisciplinary research\, corpor
 ate open innovation\, and online innovation communities. At the launch you 
 will hear from some of our initial partners and we will outline our future 
 calls for proposals.   
\n
\nWe would be delighted if you would join us to 
 launch NESTA Connect\, help shape our thinking\, share your experiences of 
 successful collaborations\, and find out how to get involved
