Every day, people are working to advance society. In their neighborhoods, in their region or around the world. They all aim to achieve the greatest possible social impact.

Post Growth Toolkit [The Game] is an invitation to reprogram ourselves out of the economic growth orthodoxy. It proposes to literally reshuffle our world-views through a compilation of stories, concepts and tactics in order to stimulate new modes of understanding in the context of current environmental crises. It takes the form of a tactical card game inviting players to explore a number of key notions to facilitate collective debate. [+]

Critics of the ‘co-operative university’ have questioned our commitment to the idea of the ‘public university’. Indeed, co-operatives are anti-statist, but they also exceed the idea of ‘public ownership’ with that of ‘common ownership’, a social form of property that is the antithesis of the right of free alienability (which distinguishes capitalist private property). In short, co-operative higher education is entirely compatible with the idea of the ‘public’ if we reconceive it as an autonomous, open, democratically governed ‘commons’: An academic commons, democratically controlled by academic and support staff, students, cleaners and others.

RESUMO: Este artigo discute os conceitos de inovação, inovação social e inovação tecnológica com o intuito de analisar a dicotomia existente entre esses termos em suas epistemologias e práticas. Após um longo período em que inovação esteve relacionada a um processo social, a partir da segunda metade do século XX o termo passa a definir processos relacionados somente ao desenvolvimento tecnológico e econômico. Recentemente, inovação social volta a ser discutida, embora muitas vezes adquira sentido restritivo às ações de combate à exclusão social e ao desgaste ambiental promovidos pela inovação tecnológica. Este estudo ressalta a importância desses conceitos caminharem juntos para a definição de políticas e estratégias para a inovação com foco na sustentabilidade do planeta. Para a melhor compreensão dos termos, uma análise bibliográfica e um estudo do caso da impressão 3D mostra como processos de inovação se relacionam tecno-socialmente, tanto em conceitos quanto em ações. O estudo apresenta uma matriz analítica que permite, por um lado, sistematizar e comparar esses conceitos e por outro, verificar como inovações sócio-técnicas promovem a sustentabilidade na esfera ambiental, social e econômica, e serve como subsídio para a construção de políticas para o setor. Ao final, percebe-se necessário estudos que consigam determinar e mensurar processos organizacionais de práticas sustentáveis nas esferas sociais e tecnológicas concomitantemente.
Existem inúmeros exemplos que demonstram a nossa capacidade para encontrar soluções inovadoras que melhoram o nosso bem-estar. Mas as inovações nem sempre são sinónimo de melhoria. De facto, alguns aspetos constituem uma evolução no mau sentido, na medida que nos afastam de um futuro sustentável. O desafio que enfrentamos reside em usar a nossa capacidade inovadora para restabelecer as nossas ligações com a biosfera (capítulo 1) e permanecer dentro dos limites de planeta (capítulo 2) a fim de salvaguardar o desenvolvimento humano a longo prazo. É tempo de introduzir inovações que têm em conta as interações fundamentais entre os sistemas sociais e ecológicos.
