The Serendipity Society is comprised of researchers, practitioners and the serendipity-curious, examining the complex phenomenon of serendipity from a variety of disciplinary and organizational perspectives. Given the growing interest among business and industry, public and academic institutions in developing spaces for serendipity, our mission is to create and nurture an active network of serendipity researchers and practitioners, which

​

• supports collaboration among senior and junior scholars,

• promotes rigorous and interdisciplinary research,

• works toward the consolidation of practice and the 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.

​

​The network is co-ordinated by Samantha Copeland, but activities and website content are designed and led by active members of the Society who work together as needs require and chance allows.
