The project is rooted in a fundamental recognition of cultural diversity and a deep commitment to human centred systems approaches to science and technology. Cultural in this context emphasises the social, economic and communication environments in which technology is designed and applied to solve problems. The Cross cultural dimension emphasises the diversity of entrepreneurial cultures both within India and the EU. Innovation refers to sustainable development of cultural, social and economic worlds. At the heart of this project is the creation of proactive and cross-disciplinary activities to facilitate the flow of innovative knowledge.
