    Greetings and Conclusions

Method and organisation of the day

The Symposium is a format of blue sky analysis on targeted themes of innovation-driven design. A format developed by Elena Formia, Flaviano Celaschi, Omar Vulpinari, of the Alma Mater of the University of Bologna (Advanced Design Unit ADU) in 2017 that adapts to international explorations of large numbers of case studies, mapping tensions in place, identifying points of excellence and intertwining operators among themselves. The first phase of the work consisted in finding about 150 selected reporters among the operators of research and production worldwide. Among these, more than 80 experts from 3 continents responded to the call, pointing out case studies that have been analytically filed and compared, mapped and studied in detail, asking for further information from the direct managers. This second phase generated the overall dossier and then allowed the third phase that produced the summaries and reading maps of trends and excellent isolated cases. Through this process, the multifactorial analysis has allowed to identify a limited number of cases to be invited to present at the Symposium. The 2019 Symposium is on a theme of particular topicality and importance in contemporary society, namely packaging. Clara Giardina, research fellow of ADU UNIBO, coordinated the analysis of this edition with the supervision of the scientific committee directed by Prof. Flaviano Celaschi of UNIBO, coordinator of ADU. The Symposium is developed in 3 phases: 1) presentation of the complete results of the research, methodology and content. 2) presentation of some particularly interesting case studies taken from the more than 300 censuses in the research and analyzed through a multidimensional matrix and presented directly by the managers who generated them. 3) presentation and discussion with a significant number of subjects that in the regional territory of the European packaging valley par excellence represent quality and innovation in progress
