The ETRIA World Conference “TRIZ Future” 2020 will take place in the university city Cluj-Napoca (located in Romania, in the hearth of Transylvania land), during 14–16 October 2020. The Conference is organized by The European TRIZ Association (ETRIA) together with Cluj IT Cluster (www.clujit.ro) and five partner universities (Technical University of Cluj-Napoca (www.utcluj.ro), University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine Cluj-Napoca (www.usamvcluj.ro), Babes-Bolyai University (www.ubbcluj.ro), University of Medicine and Farmacy "Iuliu Hatieganu" (www.umfcluj.ro) and University of Fine Atrs and Design Cluj-Napoca (www.uad.ro).
The 20th edition of ETRIA World Conference “TRIZ Future” invites original papers and best practices that combine systematic invention generation, design and creative thinking, digital technologies and open innovation frameworks to solve complex problems in any field of human activity such as information and communication technologies, mechatronic and robotic engineering, environmental and energy-related technologies, economics, business and management, biotechnologies, medicine, and applied sciences.
The Conference aims at linking industrial companies, research centers, educational organizations and individuals to share their experience on systematic innovation and promote TRIZ-based tools worldwide. It will provide an international forum for exchanging new ideas on knowledge-based innovation, presenting recent achievements in this area and enabling further advances and collaboration also between the academic and industrial communities.
Submission Guidelines
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. The following paper categories are welcome:
- Scientific papers deal with fundamental and applied research in systematic innovation, inventive problem- solving tools and methodologies, new theories and developments in approaching the resolution of complex problems we are facing in any field of activity. The length of a scientific paper will be between 8 and 12 pages for publication in the conference proceedings. Scientific papers will be indexed in SCOPUS and ISI Web of Science.
