ACAC – The Colombian Association for the Advancement of Science – hosted the first panel meeting in our Colombian RiConfigure social lab on co-creation. On the panel meeting innovators shared experiences on co-creation and the inclusion of civil society, and they will continue to do so over the two years our lab is running. The participants were representatives from ten innovation projects co-creating on issues as diverse as: cassava and bamboo, oil extraction damage reduction, a data information system on biodiversity, reforesting the Bogota river, building libraries with discarded books, and corporate responsibility.
