Value proposition

The challenge for K_RR_SK_N is to contribute to the development of a diverse, creative and sustainable socio-economic ecosystem.

To achieve this we strengthen our own, individual, abilities and work collectively to:
Activate transdisciplinary and intersectoral collaborations.

Open new markets and sources of employment in emerging sectors.
Develop beneficial dynamics for the community.

Internationally network with relevant agents.
And do so by:

Promoting the exchange and transfer of knowledge and experience, placing value on collective memory and intelligence.

Employing dialogue, transversality and hybridisation.

Researching the renewal of relational, organisational and productive systems.

Exploring and extending the boundaries of language, meanings, behaviours, forms, materials and technologies.

Daring to transgress mental rules and schemes, overcoming inertias and resistance to change, to think the unthinkable and do the unimaginable.

And savouring life. Observing time from another dimension, applying sensors to intelligence, placing the body, listening to movement, and smelling the present, past and future.
