Toward a supportive eco-innovation platform based on eco-ideation stimulation meso-mechanisms and eco-innovation cases

Abstract

This paper presents the ALIENNOR platform that is developed within French research project ALIENNOR to promote eco-innovation by providing different kinds of users with a rich base of eco-innovation cases and seven eco-ideation stimulation meso-mechanisms (ESMs). With two main modules "Methodology" and "Community", the proposed platform focuses mainly on how to explore seven ESMs and the base of eco-innovation cases and how to facilitate the tagging process (associate one or many mechanisms to an eco-innovation case and vice versa) of experts.
