Description du projet
Favoriser l’innovation à grande échelle
Dans le paysage dynamique des initiatives de collaboration, il est plus important que jamais de comprendre les subtilités des processus de co-création et des résultats obtenus dans des contextes culturels, sociétaux et réglementaires différents. Il est par ailleurs nécessaire d’approfondir les domaines de la robotique et de l’énergie urbaine. Tel est le double objectif du projet SCALINGS, financé par l’UE. En étudiant la mise en œuvre, l’adoption et les résultats des instruments de co-création dans les domaines de la robotique et de l’énergie urbaine dans dix pays, SCALINGS cherchera à identifier des pratiques évolutives et transférables. Fort de données uniques, de cadres de transformation et d’une feuille de route politique européenne complète, SCALINGS ouvrira la voie à une plus large diffusion de la co-création, favorisant l’innovation et la collaboration interculturelle. Le projet collaborera avec plus d’une vingtaine d’initiatives européennes de co-création.
Objectif
Co-creation practice – and co-creation research – are at a crossroads: More than ever, initiatives to boost innovation through collaboration among diverse actors are flourishing across Europe. Yet, this mainstreaming poses new challenges to better understand “co-creation processes and outcomes under various cultural, societal and regulatory backgrounds to allow better-targeted policy support” (SwafS-13-17). To date, no systematic studies exist that detail how co-creation instruments operate under different socio-cultural conditions, i.e. if “best practices” will be effective elsewhere or if the resulting products and services are compatible with new markets.
SCALINGS addresses the challenge of mainstreaming co-creation across a diverse Europe head-on: In the first ever rigorous comparative study, we will investigate the implementation, uptake, and outcomes of three co-creation instruments (public procurement of innovation, co-creation facilities, and living labs) in two technical domains (robotics and urban energy) across 10 countries. Using comparative case studies and coordinated cross-country experiments, we explore if and how these instruments can be generalized, transferred, or scaled up to new socio-cultural, economic, or institutional conditions to unleash their innovative power.
Based on this unique data set, we will develop two new transformative frameworks – “situated co-creation” and “socially robust scaling” – to guide the wider dissemination of co-creation. We will synthesize our findings into an “EU Policy Roadmap” to support ongoing EU innovation policy efforts. Empirically, SCALINGS is closely integrated with over two dozen European co-creation initiatives that deal with cross-cultural transferability on a daily basis. Together with these partners, we will co-create enhanced practices that feed directly back into their work and strategy. Finally, we will launch a training program (boot camp) on co-creation in diverse settings for other EU consortia.
