European TRIZ Association Conference |
|
|
The European TRIZ Association's TRIZ Futures Conference is exploring new frontiers this week: geographically, in Timisoara, Romania, and structurally, using a single session for the entire conference. The conference is at Politehnica University--see http://www.upt.ro/ for some of the history and current information on this engineering and cultural site. The theme of the conference is "Innovative product design" and there is a strong mix of academic, consulting, and industrial practioners reporting on their research in many areas of TRIZ. The program, with abstracts, is at http://www.eng.upt.ro/trizfuture2009/files/Conference%20program%20with%20abstracts.pdf Reading the abstracts shows that ETRIA has succeeded in one of its goals--by moving the conference to different universities, cities, and countries, they expose many faculty and students to the TRIZ philosophy and concepts. A significant number of this year's papers are by people who first learned about TRIZ this way. We look forward to having first-hand reports from some of the participants in the next few weeks, and pictures will be posted on the ETRIA portal, http://www.etria.net. |
