Fourth MC/WG meeting will take place from 7 to 9 November 2017, in Israel.
Based on the successful Bled meeting, the program will comprise a Management Committee Meeting, a conference (this time with a focus on social sciences and application/implementation), as well as a design workshop. Within this day, the participants will be asked to envision a scenario and make a prototype as a step forward from the demonstrators that were decided upon in the previous GPs. The workshop will be attended by different industries, scientists to be able to benefit from cross-sectoral approaches. Also Working Group Meetings will be hosted to follow up on previous meetings and work and draft further activities.
Furthermore, industry will be gathered and actively invited to participate.

For SOCIETY
- There is a gap between research and industry but also between industry and consumers with a lack of awareness of what is AIP.
- Our society is changing with the increase of elderly people.
- It is not how old they are but how they are old.
For INDUSTRY
- You should adapt packaging to generation: millennials want sustainable vs baby boomers want easy opening.
- Organic and local food are not necessarily interested in AIP.
- Packaging design to “creating wonder out of basic”.
- The decision comes now from friend recommendation, they should share your product with others but be careful with viral.
- Baby boomers are a new generation and spent 48% of their budget in non-essential with about 7trillions$ /year.
For RESEARCH
- A scale of packaging consumer perception is under construction and will be expanded.
- Information is important : communication.
- You should propose a nonexclusive design vs inclusive design.
- Industry designer are part of the packaging equation.
