Collaborative innovation networks, or COINs, are cyber teams of self-motivated people with a collective vision, to innovatively collaborate by sharing ideas, information, and work enabled by technology. COINs are powered by swarm creativity, wherein people work together in a structure that enables a fluid creation and exchange of ideas. Patterns of collaborative innovation frequently follow an identical path, from creator to COIN to collaborative learning network (CLN) to collaborative interest network (CIN). 

Our conferences have been taking place since 2009 but this year's 2020 conference has been canceled due to the global pandemic. In 2022 we continue our series with the 10th International COINs Conference in Krakow, Poland.
