Descripción del proyecto
Desarrollo de capacidades de innovación basadas en el diseño para entornos urbanos
La innovación es importante no solo para la sostenibilidad económica, sino también para la vida social y cultural. Las ciudades tienen un potencial generativo intrínseco para la innovación, pero suelen carecer de un entorno organizativo específico. El proyecto DESIGNSCAPES, financiado con fondos europeos, pretende ampliar la innovación basada en el diseño en Europa mediante ayuda financiera a iniciativas generativas de vanguardia y actividades de desarrollo de las capacidades dirigidas a partes interesadas de diversos ámbitos. El equipo del proyecto adoptará un «enfoque de gobernanza solidaria» y propondrá un marco original de evaluación holística para fomentar la convergencia entre investigación, política y práctica. Entre los resultados previstos figuran una instantánea de la ciudad, un catálogo europeo de innovaciones basadas en el diseño, módulos de formación para facilitadores locales, informes de política, publicaciones electrónicas y un congreso de clausura.
Objetivo
Innovation is relevant not only to economic sustainability but also to social and cultural life. Therefore, the creation of an organizational climate enabling and catalyzing innovation deserves special attention and needs to be explored from a sound operational perspective. Cities embed this organizational climate (Jacobs, 1969) and are by nature innovation generative systems.
It is within this perspective that the DESIGNSCAPES project aims to realize a better uptake, and further enhancement and upscaling, of Design enabled Innovation in Europe, through direct financial support to flagship and innovation generating initiatives as well as a huge capacity building effort targeting multiple stakeholder groups (citizens, researchers, practitioners, innovators and policy makers). In so doing, we will foster the linkages between research, policy and practice and contribute to making Europe a global leader in the domain.
The main features of the DESIGNSCAPES project are the following:
- It builds upon the generative potential of innovation in cities
- It leverages Design Thinking and Design Driven Innovation concepts as blueprints.
- It has a direct and purposeful focus on the scalability potential of Design enabled Innovation
- It proposes an original, holistic, evaluation, replication and impacts assessment framework.
- It makes use of a “supportive governance approach”.
Expected results include: a City Snap Shot tested in 10 countries and 12 cities, a EU Catalogue of Design enabled innovations, Training Modules for local facilitators and innovators, Policy Briefs, e-Publications and a final Conference. Approximately €1.5 million will distributed among 50+ new Design enabled initiatives as required by the H2020 call through 3 consecutive yearly rounds of a 3-staged Technical and Financial instrument akin to the US and NL SBIR program and the SME instrument of the EC.
