Abstract:
This paper introduces the concept of Tiers-Lieu, which is envisaged as an exploratory environment for service-centred innovations, and discusses its rationale within the context of the collaborative inter-disciplinary society. We present the approach facilitating discovery of initiatives as the result of the collaboration of actors from various domains: developing them in the process of negotiations and concretising them, in order to be further enabled by services. We discuss the difference between Tiers-Lieu and other types of collaborative environments, by illustrating its role in ensuring freedom in participation and semantic exchange for all creativity-oriented actors, independently from their domain, profession, and/or way of thinking.
