TRIZ FUTURE 2005, 16 - 18 November 2005

The European TRIZ Association (ETRIA) – www.etria.net - intends to function as a connecting link between industrial companies, institutions, educational organizations and individuals concerned with conceptual questions pertaining to organization and processing of innovation knowledge.

TRIZ - the internationally used Russian acronym, proposed by TRIZ-creator Genrich S. Altshuller (15.10.26-24.09.98) - is regarded today as the most comprehensive, systematically organized invention knowledge and creative thinking methodology known to mankind.

TRIZ has the following advantages over traditional innovation supporting methods:
- Marked increase of creative productivity.
- Rapid acceleration of the search for inventive and innovative solutions.
- Scientifically founded approach to forecasting evolution of technological systems, products and processes.

TRIZ the ”Theory of Inventive Problem Solving” is a living science and a practical methodology. In the last decades the research has proceeded in several stages. Millions of patents have been examined and analysed to look for principles of innovation. Companies are using TRIZ on many levels to solve problems and to develop strategies for future technologies.

ETRIA now presents its fifth annual Conference, titled:
