syntezia open 2023 in Lausanne
at the objective earth festival
The second edition of our event format took place in immersion within the
objective earth festival on Friday June 9, 2023 in the Salon du Casino de Montbenon in Lausanne
When innovation and experimentation meet festival-goers!
#EMDInMyCountry #EMD2023
#BeGreenGoBlue #BeYou #regenerativeeconomy #symbioticeconomy
From a reasoned use of natural resources (water, soil, air), from sober and responsible consumption, adapted to the climate challenge, we suggest that you take action!
How do blue, regenerative and symbiotic circular economy methods help our generation make the right choices?
For a day, we co-created, explored and experimented, stress-free and with fun, with design fiction methods and creative writing techniques to invent a story of a sustainable, desirable and symbiotic future in a city with quality optimal life!
Talents and ideas to explore possibilities
Co-create, co-develop from your ideas and find your teammates.
Call for written contributions
#InnovationPapers
A co-created publication opportunity to seize!
Do you want to express yourself on the blue economy, do you like fiction or science fiction, do you want to be part of the co-creation of a prospective story for a desirable and sustainable future?
This is what we suggest you do!
How ?
By submitting your content to us (text, photos, illustrations).
Between 20,000 and 30,000 characters in French or English per article on the circular economy (around 10 pages), this is what we offer you: short, effective and concise!!!
On the sidelines of the open lab day, we are also launching a call for research and innovation papers.
We therefore invite those who wish to send us their 10-page document, with:
- Your keywords at the top of the article
- An introductory paragraph
- Titles without number
- Subtitles with numbering
- Your development
- A concluding paragraph
If you want to attach photos, graphics or illustrations, you can insert them in the article and as attachments with good resolution and readability.
The works and articles cited in your document must be referenced at the end of your article.
Submitted articles will be reviewed by the Syntezia Open scientific committee and submitted to a second peer review by a publishing house.
Please submit your documents by email to Yves Zieba (yves.zieba@syntezia.com) before the deadline July 10, 2023.
A gamified day dedicated to creative writing and design fiction
With the help of our facilitators, you come with a multitude of ideas, you enrich them by providing methods and tools (symbiotic economy, design fiction, experimentation, writing workshop) and you leave with a project, a team, a document and many pragmatic lessons to succeed in your project.
syntezia open is part of the series of 600 events. #EMDInMyCountry #EMD2023
#BeYou #BeGreenGoBlue
#DesignFiction
EMD In My Country is a key part of the wave of awareness and activism for oceans, seas, lakes and rivers that has continued to grow in recent years: events organized under its brand are become increasingly popular, attracting thousands of participants each year. Local activities such as beach clean-ups, harbor tours, art exhibitions, workshops, lectures, seminars, maritime-themed exhibitions, ocean literacy activities, ecotours and walks in areas with important maritime heritage, boat trips, visits to maritime museums, ships, aquariums, shipyards, etc. are aimed at a wide audience across Europe, with a "fun and game" component that directly attracts a younger audience.
Have fun while co-creating!
If we chose to do co-creation as part of the Objectif Terre festival, it is both for the “roots” atmosphere and because we recognize ourselves in the values of the festival that we share.
Without taking yourself seriously!!!

What results have we obtained in previous editions?
What issues have we already addressed?
What actions have we taken?
What successes do we want to reproduce?
Carbon-free and active mobility
This was the theme of the 2022 edition, which took place in Geneva, and which allowed us to welcome the participants to the Geneva hotel school, for a day of pragmatic actions, which allowed us to generate around thirty innovative ideas and submit 5 complete files of radical innovations to seek funding.
We encouraged participants to take measures to come to our event in carbon-free mobility, and we were pleased to note that the parking lot remained empty throughout the event.
We want to keep the same approach for all future editions of syntezia open.
Meetings and exchanges between partners and participants
Feedback on the experience of previous Syntezia Opens tells us that participants appreciated being able to meet new people, network, and initiate a constructive dialogue on real issues. Consortia were created or strengthened during our times of informal dialogue, and allowed the teams formed to participate in calls for projects with the systems of Switzerland and the European Union to be able to carry out their feasibility studies, the validation of their value proposition, their prototype or their tests prior to placing their solution on the market.
Singular and original content, a new media that is emerging
During syntezia open, we share testimonials from innovative project leaders who have created businesses. We also conducted interviews that we broadcast in the All Inclusive SDGs podcast.
A gendered and balanced budget
We operate with parity in our organizational team and with a gendered budget.
We also measure the participation of women and men to ensure we have diversity in gender, background, experience, achievement and discipline.
Our carbon footprint under control
We measure our carbon footprint and we do our best to minimize the carbon footprint of our eco-responsible Syntezia Open event, and to raise awareness among participants about eco-friendly actions at every opportunity.
Zero waste, zero waste
No food was thrown away during the 2022 edition.
No leftovers, no waste!
We now know that it is possible and we intend to do it again!
Short circuits and local currency
By introducing Lake Geneva into the circuit at every opportunity, we are working on our scale to promote the local economy of the Lake Geneva region.
Bees, butterflies and little birds!
Because the protection of all forms of biodiversity is important to us, we have worked to disseminate flowers that bees, butterflies and birds love.
Innovative ideas, teams
This day resulted in several ideas being generated, and several of the teams were formed during our event.
Funding request submissions
Some teams have chosen to submit funding requests to see their projects funded and sustained.
