About the Conference

In our dynamic, accelerating societies, innovation and
creativity are on the agenda of economical, political
and social actors. According to specific rationalities,
global, national, institutional and professional
discourses on future, innovation and creativity differ
greatly. In this polyphonic structure, some voices
are heard more than others and some paradigms
have become dominant: especially the market and
economic growth paradigm even at present seems
to be unquestionable. In an obviously more and more
challenged world, the global polyphonic scenery now
has the potential to open up towards new ideas and
visions. The role of public universities being under
debate and the public mission of the university being
reframed: How will universities interpret the present
trends? According to dominant discourses, the
university should become an economically shaped
institution to advance and promote the production of
market knowledge. Will universities react or respond
to this market-pressure? And how will universities
contribute to develop our common future?
Nowadays, many academics and intellectuals intend
to create and open up old and new spaces for critical
reflection, for new ideas, visions for the future and
alternative developmental paths. Reflecting on the
idea and potential, mission and responsibility of
the university helps to open up and foster spaces
for a critical and transformative institution that
shifts academic self-concepts from (dis-)interested
scholarship towards the promotion of global
citizenship. So what is the potential of universities,
to contribute to a sustainable development and to
strategies of happiness and wellbeing?
An alternative development agenda addresses
the interconnectedness of economical and social
development to academic knowledge creation and as
well to higher education. Knowledge for development,
development education and education for
sustainable development approaches show that
education has become central to development and
community development. Democratic participation of

all groups (especially women) in the developmental
process is understood as foundational. What are the
paradigms of development education that suggest
new possibilities and spaces for development that
take advantage of emerging world trends, critical
knowledge development paths and the role of
education in these processes?
At a local and global level, new communicationsand information-technologies open up towards the
emerging paradigm of development education. Global
knowledge development brings about an open global
society as well as the development of trust-relationships
within learning societies. Open knowledge and
open knowledge production and related models
like peer production and peer governance provide
emerging alternatives to traditional proprietary
models of knowledge production. The agenda of
non-rivalry, coproduction and collaboration defines
new developmental trajectories, where sustainability,
happiness and wellbeing become relevant at the level
of individuals, communities, institutions and societies.
The 3rd Creative Universities Conference is being held
in the Royal University of Bhutan in the Kingdom of
Bhutan which has promoted the concept of happiness
and wellbeing as an alternative developmental
paradigm. Organized jointly by the Institute for GNH
Studies (iGNHaS), International Creative Universities
Network (ICUN), the Global Studies program of
Waikato University, New Zealand and the Future
Education, Groups and Organization Studies
(FUEGOS) Center Initiative at Philipps-University of
Marburg, Germany, the conference aims to open up
an international polylogue on the role and potentials
of a Creative University, effectively advancing the
notions and potentials of creative development.
The conference offers spaces for different kinds of
papers and workshops. In order to connect theoretical
reflections with creation, the practices of the conference
combine different ways and formats of learning.
Traditional (theoretical, methodological, empirical
or conceptual) papers will be presented in assigned

fora and connected to developmental workshops.
Like this, the bridging of different ways of thinking, the
emergence of thought out of practice will be supported.
In order to explore integrated ways of learning, in
workshop sessions, body and artistic interventions
will be especially welcome. Combined with traditional
academic approaches, the conference will enable the
participants to engage in a transformative learning
process through dialogue, introspection and self
reflection. This leads to a deepening of understanding
of how the creative university intersects its functioning
with what the new development paradigm should look
like. Also, the notion of co-creating and of enabling to
prototype change as social practice is a principle to
be followed here.
Forum 1: Creativity and the educational mode of
development
Exploring the Agenda of Creative University and

Creative Development leads to reflections on the
educational mode of development. What are different
notions of the educational mode of development?
What role can universities play in developing a new
agenda of institutional creativity? Which actors and
groups of actors (do & can) initiate transitions towards
integrated developmental strategies? Which role do
diversity, heterogeneity and inequality of actors play
and how can this be researched as well as addressed
in institutional strategies? What are different notions
and concepts in order to foster equality and wellbeing?
How is the relationship between creative economy,
creative university and creative development shaped
in discourses of the presence, how can it be analyzed?
Workshop 1: Creating Developmental Spaces and
supporting Actors of Change
How do we create developmental spaces in our

universities, societies, economies and cross sector
innovation strategies? How can actors in creative
universities and institutions in society and economy be
supported to create happiness and wellbeing? How
can students, staff, faculty, leadership, management,
community become involved? How can we develop
positive relationships and functional structures for our
vision of the university and its relationship to society,

communities and economy? How can transitory
spaces, think spaces and creativity labs arise and
be fostered by educational institutions, economical
actors, organizations and initiatives in society?
Forum 2: Creative University: Strategies of
Creation and Creative Development of the Future
Which patterns and grammars of awareness are

the basis for the practice of organizational change
towards an integrated development perspective? How
do organizational awareness cultures contribute to the
support, negotiation, dilution or prevention of creativity?
Which notion of the idea of university brings about
real change? How can creative development and
possibilities for change be supported and how can the
interaction and contradictions between bureaucratic,
market-oriented and communal organizational cultures
be opened by awareness rising and mindfulness?
What can other partnering institutions contribute in
an overarching cross sector innovation perspective?
Workshop
2:
Developing
and
Discovering
Mindfulness approaches to teaching, learning and

development
How can spaces of awareness, mindfulness and

creative approaches in organizations emerge and be
implemented? What are strategies of creation and
practices belonging to a true mindfulness approach?
How can a network culture of future orientation, of
mindfulness and sustainability be created and how
can it contribute regularly to positive dynamics of
institutional change? Which kinds of ideas of university,
of economy and society are brought about by a
different practice? How does mindfulness integrate
and fit together with other learning intentions? Which
kinds of developmental paths can be created here?
What are the knowledges and paths to happiness and
wellbeing?
Forum 3: Methodology and Methods of (action-)
research
What is the best way to theoretically and empirically

reconstruct organizational, institutional and network
14-16 April 2014

rules of creating creative organizing? Which
methodological strategies and methods are best
suited to empirically analyze the emergence and
implementation of open and creative futures in
organizations? How are new and established methods
combined in exploring the complex and multilevel
phenomenon of creativity and future orientation in
organisations, economy and society? What is the
potential of innovative research designs? What is the
benefit of multi-methods and triangulation approaches?
How can action-research contribute to address both
research and change? What is the implications and
possibilities for organizational transformation in society
and economy - and academic knowledge creation?
Workshop 3: Using Action-(Research) for the
transformation of society
How can we inspire change agents, actors and

communities to develop in a mindful way? How can
we use a methodology of action research focusing on
the notion of action? How to use culturally adequate
methods, which inspire articulation and envisioning
desired futures? What is methodology and methods
of creative action research and organizing in our
societies, economy and university? What are new
potentials for action research approaches in an
interdisciplinary and international perspective? Which
knowledges and paths can be created by open
developmental strategies of innovation?
Forum 4: Creativity, Open Science & Travelling
Ideas
Exploring the question of creative economy, creative

university and creative development is related to the
debates on open science and to making ideas travel.
This forum provides space for the discussion of the
dimensions of the New, related to open science and the
role of creative university for a creative economy and
creative development. What are different patterns and
options of generating creative futures and awareness
in organizing? What is the nature of open science
and open education and how can international

program development contribute to the creation of a
global structure and global flows of travelling ideas
and travelling universities? What are the paths into
a sustainable future and the paths of sustainability
oriented university programs?
Workshop 4: Ideas and practices of partnerships,
co-operations and the development of academic
programs
What are ideas and practices, which contribute to a

cross sector innovation approach and to an outreach
of university to community learning, volunteerism
and nation building as well as cosmopolitism? How
does the creative university develop relationships
outside academia to community, government and
industry? What are risks and possibilities of public
private co-operations, partnering and innovating
across sectors? What are technological requirements
to realize international and global cooperation? How
can decentralized and multi-campus settings be
made fruitful in a global world? How can peer to peer
technologies contribute to develop global education
approaches? What can universities contribute to the
educational mode of development?
