Rovaniemi Sustainability Jam – an international 48-hour event – will be organised on November 22–24. The event is part of the Global Sustainability Jam during which teams globally will develop and prototype completely new services. It is not a competition but jam where the main idea is to have fun and create new ideas together.
Anyone interested in sustainability and service design is welcome to join the jam. The organisers provide the facilities and an internet connection for the event; any other materials needed are to be provided by the participants themselves.
You need to register for the event by November 18. However, the teams are formed and the theme of the event is exposed at the event launch on Friday, November 22. The Rovaniemi Sustainability Jam will take place in the Rovaniemi Design Lounge (address: Ainonkatu 1) where the participants need to gather on Friday, November 22, by 5 pm.
The results of the jam will be published on Sunday, November 24, by 3 pm online to all participants all over the world. All new ideas created in the jam will be publicly available for anyone’s use.
