OUR APPROACH
We make innovation people-centred, drawing on social sciences and humanities.
Societal challenges call for place-based social innovation that measures and maximises the readiness level, adoption, acceptance and societal impact of new technologies and solutions.
Are you part of the European Research and Innovation community? We guide you in understanding user requirements, measuring and maximising the social readiness level and impact of the solutions developed within the framework of collaborative projects. We open a dialogue with local ecosystems and end-users to co-design human-centered innovation pathways: co-creation is key to ensuring the technologies and services your project develops match real end-user needs increasing societal acceptance.
Are you a public organisation designing policies or services around citizen and stakeholder needs? Through our advisory services, we equip you with the frameworks and strategies for informed decision-making. We help you bring together stakeholders, communities and institutions to shape innovation processes — starting from the needs of citizens, users, workers and local stakeholders — to design solutions that are relevant, inclusive and usable in your specific ecosystem.
