Paris, France, May 22-23, 2008.

Following on previous conferences, this event explored the challenges and opportunities stemming from today's increasingly knowledge-based economy. This year’s conference examined, among other topics: intellectual capital in a historical perspective, metrics and standards, spatial issues (city planning and knowledge, global/local tensions), societal and organizational design.

The event was designed as a platform for the exchanges of views, to promote learning among key stakeholders from around the world, and to consider an agenda for transnational and trans-institutional research and action for the future.
