<br>as part of a H2020 project 'SCALINGS'
<br>
<br>Description of the overall SCALINGS project
<br>The offered positions are part of the Horizon 2020 Science with and for
<br>Society project "SCALINGS - Scaling up Co-creation: Avenues and Limits for
<br>Integrating Society in Science and Innovation". This is a joint program of the
<br>Philosophy and Ethics group at TU/e, together with 8 other universities across
<br>Europe as Technical University Munich, Technical University Denmark, Mines
<br>Paris Tech, ESADE Spain and University College London.
<br>
<br>Co-creation practice - and co-creation research - are at a crossroads: More
<br>than ever, initiatives to boost innovation through collaboration among diverse
<br>actors are flourishing across Europe. Yet, this mainstreaming poses new
<br>challenges to better understand "co-creation processes and outcomes under
<br>various cultural, societal and regulatory backgrounds to allow better-targeted
<br>policy support" (SwafS-13-17). To date, no systematic studies exist that
<br>detail how co-creation instruments operate under different socio-cultural
<br>conditions, i.e. if "best practices" will be effective elsewhere or if the
<br>resulting products and services are compatible with new markets.
<br>SCALINGS addresses the challenge of mainstreaming co-creation across a diverse
<br>Europe head-on: In the first ever rigorous comparative study, we will
<br>investigate the implementation, uptake, and outcomes of three co-creation
<br>instruments (public procurement of innovation, co-creation facilities, and
<br>living labs) in two technical domains (robotics and urban energy) across 10
<br>countries. Using comparative case studies and coordinated cross-country
<br>experiments, we explore if and how these instruments can be generalized,
<br>transferred, or scaled up to new socio-cultural, economic, or institutional
<br>conditions to unleash their innovative power.
<br>Based on this unique data set, we will develop two new transformative
<br>frameworks - "situated co-creation" and "socially robust scaling" - to guide
<br>the wider dissemination of co-creation. We will synthesize our findings into
<br>an "EU Policy Roadmap" to support ongoing EU innovation policy efforts.
<br>Empirically, SCALINGS is closely integrated with over two dozen European
<br>co-creation initiatives that deal with cross-cultural transferability on a
<br>daily basis. Together with these partners, we will co-create enhanced
<br>practices that feed directly back into their work and strategy. Finally, we
<br>will launch a training program (boot camp) on co-creation in diverse settings
<br>for other EU consortia.
<br>
