Platforms for social innovation is the theme for the Doors of Perception 8 event in India in March.

What infrastructures are needed to enable bottom-up, edge-in social innovation? And how do we design them? Doors of Perception 8 is about these two questions.

Doors is a worldwide design and innovation network whose aim is to learn how to design services, some of them enabled by information technology, that meet basic needs in new ways. Every two years or so, the network meets to share the results of its work with citizens, education, industry and professionals.

Our latest global meeting, Doors of Perception 8 (Doors 8) is a five day encounter in New Delhi, India. Our week together features a range of activities :

- plenary think-piece presentations (Monday and Tuesday);
- Project Clinics and workshops (Wednesday and Friday);
- one-to-one conversations (every day);
- encounters and exchanges in the city and around."

Ah, sounds fascinating, with some overtones of a Muckabout minus the online pre/post. For more see:
