?? How Can Conferences Enable Transformative Innovation? A new publication, "Building a Knowledge Infrastructure for Transformative Innovation Policy", explores how conferences can go beyond knowledge-sharing to actively support knowledge integration and second-order learning for transformative action. Using the TIP Conference 2022 as a case study, the authors, Diana Velasco, Bipashyee Ghosh, Alejandra (Sandra) Boni, Katharina Schiller, and Laura Winkler, propose a framework for developing a sustainable and inclusive knowledge infrastructure to drive transformative innovation policy. This research highlights how experimental conferences can facilitate learning, unlearning, and the alignment of visions, key components in shaping pathways for transformation. ??
