After the meanwhile common online formats, the team of the EPC could finally participate in a physical conference again and exchange with other scientists about their own and current research work on site. From 01. to 03.09.2021 the "16th International Forum on Knowledge Asset Dynamics" took place in Rome.
On the third conference day, Dr. Laima Gerlitz presented a joint research paper based on the CTCC project with co-authors Prof. Achim Hack, Prof. Gunnar Prause and Christopher Meyer and entitled: "Creative Industries as Key Partners for Blue and Green Growth in the Baltic Sea Region: A Modern Guide towards Sustainable Regional (Cross)Innovation in SMEs". The paper has since been published in the Conference Proceedings and can be viewed here. In addition, Dr. Laima Gerlitz chaired the session "Industry & Digitalization", in which five scientific papers on the topic were presented and discussed.
