Projects
- Innovation Strategies for System Level Transformation: Exploring How to Implement Innovation Policies to Drive Regional Transformation
- Smith, Madeline (Principal Investigator) Johnson, Michael (Co-investigator) Fonseca, Liliana (Co-investigator) Downes, Ruth (CoI) Mendez, Carlos (CoPI)
- Scottish Universities Insight Institute-funded project on innovation strategies for system-level transformation.
Key challenges in achieving transformation through Innovation Policies are:
Design – how do we correctly identify what we need to do?
Mobilisation – how do we engage and start?
Implementation – how do we best deliver?
Evidencing success – how do we show the impact of our interventions?
Through a participatory design-led process, this programme explored these key challenges, providing a platform for sharing experience and learning with regional, national and international partners. The ultimate goal of this initiative is to guide Scotland in the effective delivery of our National Innovation Strategy to maximise its impact and drive long-term transformation. - 01-Mar-2024 - 01-Jul-2024
