<br> Scaling Up Co-creation? The Politics of Participatory Innovation Instruments
<br>
<br>Initiatives to stimulate innovation through "co-creation" among diverse actors
<br>are proliferating, spearheaded by a wave of new participatory policy
<br>instruments such as public procurement of innovation, co-creation facilities,
<br>or living labs, among others. Proponents argue that these instruments can
<br>include diverse knowledges and help steer innovation in socially beneficial
<br>directions. However, STS research has shown that participatory instruments do
<br>not merely engage, but performatively create publics, raising questions about
<br>representativeness, legitimacy, and power. Moreover, the mainstreaming of
<br>co-creation instruments in an increasingly standardized, ready-to-deploy
<br>fashion runs counter to the foundational premise of co-creation - i.e. that
<br>the goals, practices, and outcomes of innovation are highly situated and
<br>cannot be standardized across cultural, organizational, and regulatory
<br>contexts.
<br>This panel aims to wrestle with the politics and practices of this new wave of
<br>"mainstreamed" co-creation instruments in innovation. We invite theoretical
<br>and empirical contributions on:
<br> How is the global landscape of participatory innovation policy
<br>instruments changing? Which public bodies, economic or civil society actors
<br>driving this change?
<br> Which new entanglements between objects, sites, publics, and concepts
<br>do these instruments create?
<br> How do co-creation practices and outcomes differ across locations,
<br>scales, and technological domains? How are their benefits and risks envisioned
<br>differently?
<br> How do these instruments reconfigure global and local political
<br>economies of innovation? Which forms of power, exclusion, and subjectivities
<br>are being enacted?
<br> What are the avenues and limits for governing innovation more
<br>democratically through co-creation?
<br> How can demand-side policy instruments such as public procurement
<br>support systems transformation related to grand challenges?
