Telling stories of innovation: The Long + Short launch event

We celebrated the launch of our new digital publication.
11 Sep 2014
Nesta, London

Launching this September, The Long + Short is a digital magazine available in tablet, mobile and web versions.

Each season of The Long + Short will follow a theme. Season 1 will be arranged around ‘Re’ – the notion that innovation can be a ‘Re’ activity: remixing existing ideas and styles; reusing something old in a different context; creativity through reinterpretation; reinventing traditional organisations; re-innovation.

The magazine covers innovation in the broadest sense of the word – where new ideas are coming from, how they grow, expand and take hold in our lives.

At the event we gave a flavour of The Long + Short and the ‘Re’ season itself, with a short discussion between some of the writers and contributors to the magazine.
