cross-fertilization concept


Explanation:
Sharing of ideasIn Europe, Pierre Laffitte, the mastermind and founder of Sophia Antipolis Science Park in France, described the concept of cross fertilization as the interchange between different cultures or different ways of thinking that is mutually productive and beneficial; "THE CROSS-FERTILIZATION OF SCIENCE AND THE CREATIVE ARTS" not only in terms of economic, but also on a social and cultural level. He applied this concept for the creation of Sophia Antipolis science park. In 1960, the French newspaper Le Monde published an article written by Senator Pierre Laffitte titled "Le Quartier Latin aux Champs," partly inspired by observations made while visiting the United States, Sweden, the U.K., and France, his theory was that creativity is born through the exchange between industrial, scientific, philosophical, and artistic minds.He decided to apply the concept in France, thus the Sophia Antipolis Science Park.

cross fertilization


Explanation:
O conceito é emprestado do campo de animais e plantas. Leva à multiplicação das espécies e leva a variações que podem ser benéficas (ou não). Na pecuária, o cruzamento de duas raças ou linhagens diferentes provoca um fenômeno chamado "vigor híbrido", um tipo de sinergia que faz com que o resultado é mais que a soma das partes.
