Irene Cassarino
Irene is a researcher on open innovation, with a particular focus on collaborative distributed peer production processes within creative industries.
She has a PhD from the Polytechnic of Turin and she also studied at the ARC Centre for Innovation in Creative Industries in Brisbane, Australia, at SPRU (Science and Technology Policy Research), University of Sussex, Brighton, UK, and the MIT Sloan School of Management in Boston. Her findings have been presented in journals and conferences all over the world (UK, AU, Japan).
Before joining Experientia, she collaborated as a research assistant with the Dpt. of Production Systems and Business Economics of the Polytechnic of Turin, with the Oxford Internet Institute of the University of Oxford and with the Piedmont Regional Government in the policy advisory staff of the Ministry for Research and Innovation. She is still a fellow of the NEXA Center for Internet and Society.
In her collaboration with Experientia, she has been involved in projects focusing on open innovation, ethnographic research, value exchange and design strategy.
She loves interdisciplinary approaches to problems and that’s why she enjoys working with a diverse and bright selection of people, such as the collaborators of Experientia.
According to Plato, philosophers and general practitioners both have in common that they choose to concentrate on the totality and interrelation of general principles rather than the details of one isolated branch. In doing so they perform a cognitive function different from that of any specialist. My humanistic and humanitarian sides are happy I share my destiny with them!
