Conference Objectives

This conference aims at creating knowledge value-added by exploring, understanding and exchanging knowledge about the cause and effects of convergence and innovation, and their relationships with creative economies. To achieve these objectives, the conference brings together scholars and practitioners associated with science and technology innovation in Asia and across the world, as well as to share insights regarding methodological issues, analytical results, and policymaking experiences in creative economies.

Key Themes

The contemporary economies of many countries have tendencies for slow growth, and this gives rise to fears of a global economic slump. Consecutive periods of low economic growth, as well as economic growth without job creation, inevitably generates many social problems such as the rise of unemployment, greater polarization between the rich and the poor, the widening of the income gap, decreases in quality of life, and more. Many governments have sought solutions to shift their economies toward more sustainable growth. It has been frequently stated in Korea that the promotion of a creative economy might be a solution to cure the current problems of slow growth in the economy. A creative economy is de� ned by the convergence of science and technology with industry, the fusion of culture with industry, and the blossoming of creativity in the border regions that were once permeated by barriers.

Paper Submission, Review, and Acceptance

Significant and original (unpublished) submissions are solicited. The papers will be peer reviewed and upon acceptance, authors are requested to submit their final version (if requested). Papers should not exceed 8,000 words and should include an abstract of 100-150 words. For the paper submission guidelines, please see the conference website. The accepted papers will be opened at the conference website (www.asialics.or.kr). Selected papers will be published in a book, Asian Journal of Technology Innovation and other ralated journals after a peer review process.

Sub-themesA number of sub-themes have been identi� ed for the conference, including:

■ Nature of creative economy and related policies■ Innovation mechanisms through convergence to grow creative economies■ Innovation of science and technology through convergence ■ National innovation systems and technological convergence ■ Sectoral innovation systems and technological convergence ■ Regional innovation systems and technological convergence■ Innovation clusters and technological convergence■ Corporate innovation systems and technological convergence■ Cultural analysis of science and technology convergence■ Humanities and social science approaches to convergence■ Management of innovation for science and technology convergence■ Government policies to promote innovation and convergence ■ Other practices of innovation and convergence (user innovation,
