Our Center is actively engaged in co-organizing events in connection with frugal innovations and related topics.We strive to (co-) organize at least one symposium or workshop every year.
Since its inception we have either (co-) organized or actively supported (e.g. with a talk or participation in the panel discussion) the following events. Those events, that were organized by us on this theme before CFI was established in 2013, were held under the banner of Research Project Global Innovation. The list is still being updated and is not complete as of July 2, 2015.
