What sort of environment, values and behaviour do we need to facilitate the generation and sharing of ideas and to foster creativity?

What exciting initiatives are happening in the UK and how and why are they working?

Why does innovation happen at the edge and in the gaps between disciplines?

How do we create and sustain an environment of creative collaboration and support networks to encourage cross-fertilisation of ideas, sharing of expertise and creative community?

How does technology help and hinder cooperation, collaboration and creativity?
