SocKETs Labs
SocKETs is conducting six case studies across Europe, called SocKETs Labs, and focusing on the application of key enabling technologies toward a diversity of innovation and societal challenges:
- Circular economy by design processes for the re-use and recycling of materials, toward sustainable consumption and production
- Electronic health applications
- Industrial automation systems, toward decent work and better industry, innovation and infrastructures
We will run a series of co-creation activities, experimenting several forms and ways of interaction between stakeholders and citizens to explore priorities, expectations, and concerns on research and innovation in the fields of the SocKETs Labs. Together, industries and citizens will develop and co-create product, design suggestions and shape social-innovation strategies, responsive to societal needs and challenges.
