VREIA members recently came together in a wonderful full-day panel on exnovation, chaired by Karina Maldonado-Mariscal (TU Dortmund University) and Prof Jessica Mesman (Maastricht University) at the 2025 STS-HUB conference in Humbolt University.
The panel brought together researchers across two ‘faces’ of exnovation: a deliberate termination of structures, technologies, products, and practices (Heyen, 2017) and approaching forgotten competencies as valuable resources for improvement (Mesman 2008).
Thank you to Karina Maldonado-Mariscal for the panel photos!
