CONFERENCE THEME
ENHANCING SERVICE SYSTEM FUNDAMENTALS AND EXPERIENCES
Complex multi technology based service systems are being deployed covering most aspects of life in our society. The sustainability of service systems involves technical, economic, and social responsibility issues, and therefore its fundamentals need to be better understood. Opportunities for radical innovation arise in this environment, and new transdisciplinary exploratory work is deemed essential to address all the challenges being faced. Service system value co-creation requires also improved understanding of the experiences that are being designed for the benefit of everyone. Service Science needs to explore enhanced methods, approaches and techniques for a more sustainable and inclusive economy and society.
