The NCP Summer Meeting and the General Assembly took place on the 23rd-25th of June in Potsdam along with the 17th ICKM conference held there. The NCP community had a great opportunity to meet face-to-face again after more than 3 years of the Pandemic period.

The remote initiatives and workshops held during the Pandemic were discussed in the meeting acknowledging that the NCP Working groups were successfully moving forward in their activities during that period.

The survey results regarding the NCP’s vision were discussed. The NCP Board was renewed. Three new members were invited to join the Club as full members.

The members were engaged in participating and presenting their research at the ICKM. Lots of live discussions and talks with the international community on the latest issues of the knowledge economy took place.

Two round table discussions with the Potsdam city administration and the Potsdam community on how to transform the City from a Science City to a City of Knowledge in order to foster its development were initiated by the NCP. An excellent city tour around Potsdam was organized.

And last, but not least, the NCP community had a lot of enjoyable moments together after three years of not meeting in person. The photos below capture just some of them.

CREATING SUSTAINABLE WEALTH IN A GLOBAL KNOWLEDGE ECONOMY

The New Club of Paris is an agenda developer for the knowledge economy. The club’s aim is to support nations, regions, cities, communities, and organizations in their transformation into the knowledge society. The club brings together intellectual entrepreneurs, scientists, opinion leaders and highlevel politicians in the knowledge society and knowledge economy to engage in research, dialogue and concrete activities. The Club prominently participates in knowledge raising events around the world, runs an annual conference in Paris, coordinates and contributes to worldwide research efforts on the knowledge economy, and publishes a variety of papers and books. The Club also organizes a Winter Meeting with the specific purpose of putting into practice its specific aim in a particular country or region.

The International Conference on Gender Research (ICGR) 2019 is taking place on 11 – 12 April 2019 at Roma Tre University, Italy

Despite some advances being made in the area, topics related to gender research remain pertinent and are gaining momentum in a changing society. It is thus important to empower and to develop research on specific gender topics, in order to acquire a clearer understanding and to obtain important insights.

Now in its second year the International Conference on Gender Research intends to be established in the cutting edge of gender research and we welcome everyone researching in this area to present their work and to the scientific community.

ICGR 2019 is being held at Roma Tre University, Italy on 11-12 April and the Conference Chair is Professor Paola Paoloni.

WICI Symposium 2018 at WASEDA University
on 30 November 2018

The “2018 WICI symposium” on Friday November 30, 2018 aims to offer opportunities to look back at the achievements by WICI during 10 years and explore further agendas through discussions among presenters and participants. In other words, in the light of the situation where reportedly, at least over 400 hundred listed companies make public integrated report, we consider the symposium as an opportunity to ensure the strategy for companies and organizations—focusing on relations with the society while confirming their raisons d’être, to further employ integrated reporting as the tools of communications with stakeholders to provide clear understandings of the value creation stories to enhance the processes for value creation.
