Cultural conditions for public engagement in KETs
The different relationships between science, innovation, technology and the public, influence how people view innovations and technology, but also influence their views on co-creation. These views are shaped by the historical context and dynamics present in different cultural settings. Crucial for the quality of engagement, cultural factors must be taken into account. This report explores the cultural conditions that could be of influence for setting up co-creation and public engagement activities with Key Enabling Technologies in the six countries in which a SocKETs lab was implemented. Download the file below to access the analysis in Bulgaria, Denmark, Estonia, Italy, Serbia and Spain.

Innovation ecosystem maps
KETs-based innovation is expected to introduce radical changes in society: in the interactions between people and between different stakeholders towards more collaboration. The nature of work, habits and approaches could radically change, especially in the sector of building, eHealth and industrial automation. In this context, participatory processes such as co-creation aligning technological innovations with the society’s values, needs and concerns are much needed. But are the innovation ecosystems ready for that? Download the report below to get the analysis of six innovation ecosystems in Bulgaria, Denmark, Estonia, Italy, Serbia and Spain: application scenarios, barriers and opportunities for the introduction of new technologies, key actors, relations and networks involved, etc.
