Atlas of Ideas 2.0
Next places, next people, next science
The Atlas of Ideas is mapping changes in the global geography of science and innovation - pinpointing where innovation is coming from and where it is heading.
So far our work has focused on China, India and South Korea, but Phase 2.0 sees Demos extend this work to include an ambitious study of science in the Islamic world; a focus on the innovation potential of Brazil; a closer look at 'knowledge nomads'; and the prospects for a low-carbon China.

Innovative China

I've recently returned from Beijing, where I spoke at the launch of the OECD's review of China's innovation system. Most of the movers and shakers in Chinese S&T policy were present, and there was some lively debate about the balance between 'indigenous innovation' and the need for more international collaboration.
I've written a comment piece in today's China Daily which summarises what I said at the OECD event, building on the arguments in our Atlas of Ideas report. The National Science Foundation of China and the British Embassy in Beijing have also produced a Chinese translation of the Atlas reports, which we released at the OECD event.
I then travelled south to Guangzhou for a separate event with the Guangzhou Association of Science and Technology. This picked up a bit of local media interest. I spoke alongside Adrian Ely from the STEPS Centre at Sussex University, who has blogged the event here.
