Co-create a DEEP Dive for the DEEP Ecosystems Conference

Help shape one of the interactive workshops at the DEEP Ecosystems Conference on 10 September in Jülich, Germany.

We invite DEEP Ecosystem members to propose and host a DEEP Dive: an interactive workshop of 1 or 2 hours that brings participants into a meaningful discussion around an innovation topic that matters to you and your community.

A DEEP Dive is designed to go beyond a standard talk. Together with the DEEP team, selected contributors will help create a workshop that combines topic analysis, live exchange and post-conference publication. The goal is to create a session that is useful, participatory and grounded in real experience.

This is an opportunity for members who want to contribute expertise, connect with peers and make a topic visible in front of innovation managers, investors, ecosystem builders, entrepreneurs and public-sector actors.

We are looking for proposals that:

• focus on a relevant topic, challenge or opportunity

• show why the applicant has valuable experience to contribute

• offer an interactive format rather than a one-way presentation

• include a willingness to facilitate discussion and involve others

• help turn the workshop outcomes into a useful article or conference report contribution

We especially welcome workshop concepts that make discussion results visible through simple collaborative methods such as a poll, stakeholder map, ecosystem map, entrepreneurial journey, impact-feasibility matrix, metaphor, decision tree or word cloud.
