Conference Description:

The ICCIG aims to bring together a diverse group of individuals and organizations to share and discuss cutting-edge ideas and innovations related to grassroots development. This year, we will focus on themes such as:

1. Inclusive Innovations in Technology, particularly from farmers and grassroots communities, social entrepreneurship, and frugal innovations.
2. Educational Innovations, blending formal and informal knowledge systems in schools and colleges.
3. Institutions, both formal and informal, related to common property resource management in both urban and rural areas.
4. Cultural Creativity, including crafts, traditional knowledge, and the blend of traditional and modern approaches.
5. Natural Resource Management, with a focus on food, nutrition, biodiversity, and social diffusion.
6. Public Policy for Inclusive Innovations, particularly climate adaptation and open-source innovation.
7. Mind to Market, addressing supply chains, funding, and startup ecosystems.
8. Frugal Innovations by and for Women.

We cordially invite you to present a paper, poster, or installation that highlights your work and encourages rich discussion around these topics. This is an excellent opportunity to engage with fellow innovators, scholars, policymakers, and grassroots stakeholders from around the world.
