Title
Introduction
Keynote Lecture 1

Dr. Denis Cavallucci (Associate Professor, INSA-Strasbourg, France)

How TRIZ can contribute to a paradigm change in R&D practices

INSA-Strasbourg is Graduate School of Applied Science and Technology, where an Advanced Master Course in Innovative Design has been established to do research and education in the field of TRIZ.  Dr. Cavallucci is one of the leaders of the course.  He is one of the five co-founders of ETRIA (European TRIZ Association) and was its second President.  His group has introduced OTSM-TRIZ and further developed it into the Innovation Design Method (IDM). They intend to integrate IDM into the R&D practices in industries and do much collaborative work between academia and industry. 

Keynote Lecture 2 Dr. Jeongho Shin (eTRIZ, Korea)

How to learn TRIZ with ease and fun

 Last November at ETRIA TFC 2011, Dr. Shin gave an amusing presentation, and we have decided to invite him on the topic. He made 'Invention Song' by incorporating 8 TRIZ Inventive Principles with the melody of 'Do-Re-Mi Song'. It has become a very pleasant song having verses in Korean, in English, and in Chinese. We are trying to make a Japanese version before the Symposium.
