Key Enabling Technologies (KETs) are having a profound and pervasive impact on our industry, economy, and society, and have the potential to respond to and create tailored solutions to address societal needs and challenges.
We believe that early and continuous societal engagement in the design and development of technological solutions could help inspire, anticipate and reduce risks of innovation and improve the quality, desirability and sustainability of the final products.
This webinar will be an opportunity to present learnings from six societal engagement and co-creation case studies in e-health, industrial automation and circular economy, and will illustrate a practical and simple guide to realize your participatory process.
When? 23rd June 2023, from 11.30 to 13.00 CEST
Who is this for? Researchers, technology developers, innovators, project managers, social science and engagement practitioners
