About
The Serendipity Society is comprised of researchers examining the complex phenomenon of serendipity from a variety of disciplinary and organizational perspectives. Given the growing interest among industry and academic institutions in developing spaces for serendipity, our mission is to create and nurture an active network of serendipity researchers, which
- supports collaboration among senior and junior scholars,
- promotes rigorous interdisciplinary research,
- works toward the consolidation of research and development of theory,
- creates a platform from which to develop serendipity research as an independent field of study,
- provides a resource of expertise on serendipity to which organizations, funders, innovators, and planners can turn.
