This open access book summarizes research being pursued within the SISCODE (Society in Innovation and Science through CO-DEsign) project, funded by the EU under the H2020 programme, the goal of which is to set up an analytical, reflective and learning framework to explore the transformations in initiatives and policies emerging from the interaction between citizens and stakeholders. The book provides a critical analysis of the co-design processes activated in 10 co-creation labs addressing societal challenges across Europe. Each lab as a case study of real-life experimentation is described through its journey, starting from the purpose on the ground of the experimentation and the challenge addressed. Specific attention is then drawn on the role of policies and policy maker engagement. Finally, the experimentation is enquired in terms of its output, transformations triggered within the organization and the overall ecosystem, and its outcomes, opening the reasoning towards the lessons learnt and reflections that the entire co-creation journey brought.

Elle est partout, mais reste souvent invisible. Il est temps de regarder la peur en face, de comprendre l’emprise qu’elle a sur nous, et de trouver le moyen de la transformer afin qu’elle alimente un engagement plus profond. In this paper, Lisa Attygalle explores the role of fear in community innovation, and provides practical strategies for how to transform and overcome it.

Participatory social innovation projects often involve the coming together of design researchers, community development groups, and community members to develop (often technological) solutions to social problems or challenges. “Intermediaries” are specific individuals and organisations who contribute to these projects by translating intentions, values and experiences between design researchers and communities. Previous research has not yet critically examined the role of intermediaries in such projects. This paper does so in a project carried out in rural areas of Europe, which sought to test and develop a technology to support the creation of FM community radio stations in isolated areas. We present the project as a biography of infrastructures to provide an account of intermediaries’ interactions during the project's unfolding. We find that how intermediaries shape the social base and ends of the project, and the interpretation of the technology involved, is influenced by their position, goals, and relationships in the process.

The failure of the deterritorialised innovation policy addressing the regions based on the “one-size-fits-all” policymaking made the Research and Innovation Strategies for Smart Specialisation (RIS3) become the Holy Grail of the European cohesion. This policy strategy is part of a multilevel framework, which encompasses national and regional vectors harmonising transversal strategies and combining different aspects to generate a consistent policy mix. This growth strategy will reinforce the existence of an innovative and knowledge-based society, which aims to raise welfare, promote responsible practices, modernise economic activity and spread prosperity.Sustainable growth will optimise the use of resources, boost the efficiency levels, generate competitiveness and respect the environment. Inclusive growth will promote social and territorial cohesion which is sought after in the convergence policy, which has slowed down the pace after the financial crisis.The development of regional competitive advantages will rely on the establishment of relevant linkages between the Academia and the private institutions in knowledge creation and transfer. In this vein, the University is expected to play a central role, facing important challenges and requiring transformations, mostly in the case of less favoured regions.Productivity raise, construction of comparative advantages, market consolidation and profit maximisation, required to avoid the obsolescence of firms, will rely in the prosecution of innovative activities. Despite being risky, these activities are sought by firms as a source of economic performance increase, being the building blocks of a profit maximisation strategy. The velocity at which innovation occurs will differ among industrial sectors due to their singularities along with other firm structural characteristics, still, those who perform innovative activities are more prone to achieve higher standards of turnover growth and profits. The organisational competences concerning human capital, knowledge absorption, accumulation and diffusion will enhance the innovation capabilities, thus generating advantages. In this path, Universities will be determinant as they may leverage the success of the entrepreneurial innovativeness throughout the provision of relevant knowledge, productive techniques and methods. Absorbing, transforming and exploiting the general knowledge provided by the University will be the firms’ incumbency which will reflect the speed and the success of the individual’s innovative performance. Considering the reinforced role of the Academia as a knowledge producer and therefore inside the innovation process, the existence of incipient connections with firms will be unbearable.What enables and hinders University-firm linkages is, so far, overlooked in the literature demanding for the comprehensive analysis, in particular the causes of its failure, and the accurate policy mix that overcome the situation is vital for a successful RIS3.The singularities of this policy framework require redirection of the tools and actions to be taken such as incentives, grants, loans and subsidisation strategies. Empirical results shed light to the significant difference observed in the classification of the University as a source of information for innovation between public monies recipients and other firms. Among public funding beneficiaries, the Academia is an important source of knowledge to draw upon; conversely, for the other firms, it seems of poor importance the knowledge conveyed in the contact. In general, firms fail to consider the University as a relevant source of information for innovation, which seems to be incompatible with the establishment of smart specialisation strategies.These unexplored connections, which pledge the success of the present innovation policy, and reinforce the importance of its appraisal to fully understand the determinants of University-firm linkages and its connection to public subsidisation, encompassing the identification of the most effective beneficiaries. The econometric estimations, relying on the CIS, were run considering a panel of firms operating in Portugal, which provides the empirical evidence for a moderate innovation milieu which is poorly done so far as most of the studies focus on innovation leader.The findings reinforce the existence complementarities among policy instruments and highlight that new avenues of research should explore other policy instruments such as open innovation frameworks.

When it comes to creating a positive & sustainable impact on the lives of Indigenous Peoples living in Montreal, it is important to understand the role that an individual occupies and plays within the collective experience

From the perspective of sustainability, this paper analyzes how stakeholders realize sustainable social innovation through co-creation. Through literature and case analysis, based on the group classification of social networks, this paper proposes three elements of social innovation: place creation, situation creation and relationship structure, and further sorts out the co-creation of meaning co-creation, behavior co-creation and value co-creation. The research shows that co-creation is a practical activity based on cultural identity, group interaction and resource integration, and stakeholders can achieve the goal of sustainable social innovation through meaning co-creation, behavior co-creation and value co-creation.

La recherche partenariale et les différentes appellations qu'elle a prises au cours des ans a connu depuis les années 2000, particulièrement au Canada et au Québec, un essor important. Celui-ci s'explique en partie par la montée en puissance de concepts comme société du savoir et économie du savoir qui ont rapidement été adoptés par les instances étatiques. Ces concepts tablent sur des liens étroits entre la croissance économique des sociétés et la création scientifique. Ce mouvement est accompagné de changements au sein même du processus de production de connaissances par le passage du Mode 1 au Mode 2. Au Québec, la recherche de type partenarial a été confortée par l'adhésion à des modalités de développement socio-économique faisant une place notable à diverses formes de coopération entre les groupes sociaux. Ce travail doctoral vise à mieux cerner la dynamique partenariale qui se déroule au sein de la relation de recherche entre des chercheurs issus du milieu universitaire et des praticiens venant de divers horizons. Afin d'approcher cette connexion chercheurs/praticiens qui se dessine à l'intérieur d'un espace partenarial que nous avons qualifié d'espace de production cognitive, nous avons posé comme hypothèse de départ, à partir d'une revue de littérature et de notre propre expérience de coordonnateur d'alliances de recherches universités-communautés, que : des questions de recherche, des valeurs, des habitudes de travail et des épistémologies occupaient cet espace balisant ainsi la liaison entre les différents participants. Cette hypothèse a été mise à l'épreuve dans le cadre d'une recherche qualitative. Pour ce faire, nous avons choisi d'examiner cinq cas de recherches exemplaires réalisées au sein du Service aux collectivités (SAC) de l'UQAM. Des entrevues semi-dirigées auprès des protagonistes de ces recherches, c'est-à-dire, les chercheurs et chercheuses, les praticiens et praticiennes, les étudiants et étudiantes et les professionnelles du SAC qui assurent la coordination des projets, nous ont permis de décrypter le dispositif partenarial. Par une analyse de contenu des comptes-rendus intégraux des entretiens, nous avons ainsi pu dégager les principales composantes de ces relations partenariales. Cette démarche nous a conduit à revoir notre hypothèse de départ. Nous postulons maintenant que : l'espace de production cognitive est alimenté par un couple question-hypothèse porté tant par les chercheurs que les praticiens; que cette activité de recherche repose sur différentes compétences tant théoriques que pratiques mises de l'avant par les partenaires aux diverses étapes de la recherche; que ces partenaires participent à une communauté de valeurs et d'aptitudes relationnelles tout en partageant le même référent épistémologique. L'ensemble de ces composantes constitue le socle sur lequel le processus partenarial se construit, se déploie et permet ainsi l'élaboration de nouvelles connaissances. ____________________________________________________________________________ MOTS-CLÉS DE L’AUTEUR : recherche partenariale, recherche-action, community based research, réflexivité, compétences.

The concept of co-creation includes a wide range of participatory practices for design and decision making with stakeholders and users. Generally co-creation refers to a style of design or business practice characterized by facilitated participation in orchestrated multi-stakeholder engagements, such as structured workshops and self-organizing modes of engagement. Co-creation envelopes a wide range of skilled social practices that can considerably inform and enhance the effectiveness of organizational development, collaboration, and positive group outcomes. New modes of co-creation have emerged, evolving from legacy forms of engagement such as participatory design and charrettes and newer forms such as collaboratories, generative design, sprints, and labs. Often sessions are structured by methods that recommend common steps or stages, as in design thinking workshops, and some are explicitly undirected and open. While practices abound, we find almost no research theorizing the effectiveness of these models compared to conventional structures of facilitation. As co-creation approaches have become central to systemic design, service design, and participatory design practices, a practice theory from which models might be selected and modified would offer value to practitioners and the literature. The framework that follows was evolved from and assessed by a practice theory of dialogic design. It is intended to guide the development of principles-based guidelines for co-creation practice, which might methodologically bridge the wide epistemological variances that remain unacknowledged in stakeholder co-creation practice.

This book illustrates how to design and implement co-creation, a powerful form of collective creativity that harnesses the potential of teams and can generate breakthrough insights. Skilled leaders and facilitators can utilize this approach to unleash the creative potential of their organizations. Drawing from years of applied research, the authors bring together insights from the fields of design and organizational development into an evocative and pragmatic "how-to" guidebook. Taking a human-centred rather than process oriented perspective, the book argues that experience design separates true co-creation from other forms of collective efforts and design thinking. Collective moments of creative insight emerge from the space between, an experience of flow and synchronicity from which new ideas spring forth. How to create and hold this space is the secret to the art of co-creation. Collective breakthroughs require stakeholders to undergo a journey from the world of their existing expertise into spaces of new potential. It requires leaders moving from a position of dominating space to holding the space for others, and developing core capacities such as empathy and awareness so that teams can engage each other co-creatively. This book uncovers the secrets of this journey, enabling process designers to develop more effective programs.

Notre présentation porte sur la relation partenariale qui prend forme entre des praticiens et des chercheurs dans le cadre de recherches impliquant une relation étroite entre ces deux acteurs. Dans la littérature, ce type de recherche se retrouve sous des dénominations différentes : recherche collaborative, recherche-action, recherche partenariale, recherche participative. Ces dénominations impliquent une relation étroite entre chercheurs et praticiens tout au long du processus de recherche. Cette collaboration est concrétisée par le terme de coconstruction des connaissances dont se réclament ces différentes appellations. Nous postulons que cet espace de production cognitive repose sur un dialogue

Afin de réfléchir à la relation dans le soin et son apprentissage, dix-sept personnes sont sollicitées pour participer à une journée de codesign. Cette méthodologie consiste, par une succession d’exercices protocolisés, à favoriser la créativité du groupe via une démarche d’intelligence collective. L’article vise à réfléchir aux conditions par lesquelles une telle méthodologie peut devenir une ressource capacitante pour penser l’apprentissage de l’éthique. Le présent travail souligne notamment la place centrale de l’affectivité dans la construction du climat d’innovation et dans le mécanisme de la pensée divergente. L’article ouvre in fine de nouveaux questionnements sur l’articulation des exercices, l’affectivité, le rôle de l’animateur ou encore celui de l’usager. Les perspectives de recherches invitent à un décloisonnement disciplinaire.

Interest in social innovation continues to rise, from governments setting up social innovation 'labs' to large corporations developing social innovation strategies. Yet theory lags behind practice, and this hampers our ability to understand social innovation and make the most of its potential. This collection brings together work by leading social innovation researchers globally, exploring the practice and process of researching social innovation, its nature and effects. Combining theoretical chapters and empirical studies, it shows how social innovation is blurring traditional boundaries between the market, the state and civil society, thereby developing new forms of services, relationships and collaborations. It takes a critical perspective, analyzing potential downsides of social innovation that often remain unexplored or are glossed over, yet concludes with a powerful vision of the potential for social innovation to transform society. It aims to be a valuable resource for students and researchers, as well as policymakers and others supporting and leading social innovation.

Des politiques en faveur de l’innovation sociale se mettent en place à différents niveaux (local, régional, national, européen). Pour autant et malgré l’augmentation exponentielle des références dans la littérature internationale, peut-on s’accorder sur une vision de l’innovation sociale ? Pour les auteurs réunis ici, elle ne constitue ni une recette ni la simple diffusion de ce qu’on appelle des « bonnes pratiques », qui opèreraient dans des systèmes économiques et sociaux inchangés. en effet, les capacités d’initiative de la société civile exigent des changements dans les cadres institutionnels pour construire un nouveau modèle de société inclusif, solidaire et écologique. À partir de l’expérience et des acquis de trois équipes de recherche qui y réfléchissent depuis plus de vingt ans, cet ouvrage alimente le débat théorique sur l’innovation sociale. Il explique aussi pourquoi la thématique est apparue dans une période de mutations contemporaines et montre l’importance pratique qu’elle peut revêtir à travers des exemples de territoires comme de secteurs.

Eleven papers explore research in entrepreneurship and community engagement in the context of Syracuse University's Scholarship in Action Model, which emphasizes sustainable campus-community entrepreneurial partnerships and applied research on the outcomes of these. Papers discuss the five keys to success in academic entrepreneurship; transforming a professional curriculum through engagement with practice--the Global Enterprise Technology Program at Syracuse University; tapping our fountain of youth--the guiding philosophy and first report on the Syracuse Student Startup Accelerator; Syracuse University Technology Commercialization Clinics; community development law and legal education; the Syracuse Miracle--inspiring entrepreneurs through conversations; the South Side Newspaper Project; bridging a traumatic past to an envisioned future--a case study of social entrepreneurship; inclusive entrepreneurship; the role of information and motivation in the process of innovation; and students serving as catalysts within a teacher education innovation.

Une communauté de pratique devrait être issue d’une initiative volontaire à l’intérieur d’une organisation, dont certains membres partagent des connaissances ou des savoirfaire qu’ils désirent améliorer. Le côté volontaire de l’initiative nécessite souvent une impulsion de démarrage, et une stratégie de dynamisation étalée dans le temps. Ceci représente tout un défi dans le cadre d’un réseau de recherche en partenariat qui regroupe des membres ayant un intérêt commun certes, mais répartis dans plusieurs pays et rattachés à divers organismes indépendants du réseau de recherche en partenariat où ils effectuent des travaux variés. 4 Notre objectif de recherche était donc : (1) de faire émerger une Communauté de pratique (CoP) au sein d’un programme de recherche en partenariat, notamment en lui offrant des outils propres au web social (site, blogue, infolettre, fil RSS, etc.) pour favoriser la collaboration de ses membres ; puis (2) d’observer l’évolution de cette CoP ; (3) et de dégager des techniques d’animation et de veille pour la mise en place de ce type de communauté de recherche. Dans ce texte, nous proposons un premier bilan, après un an, sur la pratique du partenariat et les actions menées afin de faire émerger une réelle communauté de pratique dans le cadre d’un programme de recherche en partenariat. Ceci constitue un défi important pour nombre de projets en partenariat, puisque plusieurs d’entre eux ont comme objectif non seulement de réaliser des recherches, mais de les réaliser en collaboration, et donc de soutenir les échanges entre les divers milieux (universitaire, communautaire, ou autre, selon les cas).
