iQiQ

iQiQ (Independent Quantitative Integral Quality), a growing quality people, passion and expertise driven creative network/thinktank, has been started to tackle n-dimensional quality challenges from different angles to find consensus and find paths to generic solutions and societal acceptance. One of the activities is to invite experts and influencers for intimate Top Science & Sustainable Society Cafés (10-20 people). Format: Light sustainable surprising meal, short introduction, optional pitches, informal discussion, networking and defining action. Kick-off was in December 2017 at TOP, Agrobusinesspark, Wageningen. Recurrent themes are Food, Energy transition and Africa. The next iQiQ may be again at Carte Blanche, a theatre/art place for extraordinary people, Section-C or Van Abbe Museum both in Eindhoven.
Aim is to have a dialogue first to develop a shared perspective respecting cultural and value driven differences. To focus primarily on demand and not on technology push/data driven, one way/the current new colonialism. Actions need to be based on developing mutual stakeholdership as such increasing connectivity in an integrating depolarizing ecosystem, our New World.
