Über dieses Buch

This open access book summarizes research being pursued within the SISCODE (Society in Innovation and Science through CO-DEsign) project, funded by the EU under the H2020 programme, the goal of which is to set up an analytical, reflective and learning framework to explore the transformations in initiatives and policies emerging from the interaction between citizens and stakeholders. The book provides a critical analysis of the co-design processes activated in 10 co-creation labs addressing societal challenges across Europe. Each lab as a case study of real-life experimentation is described through its journey, starting from the purpose on the ground of the experimentation and the challenge addressed. Specific attention is then drawn on the role of policies and policy maker engagement. Finally, the experimentation is enquired in terms of its output, transformations triggered within the organization and the overall ecosystem, and its outcomes, opening the reasoning towards the lessons learnt and reflections that the entire co-creation journey brought.

Between Science, Technology and Society
Abstract
The intersection and permeability of science, innovation and society result in a series of benefits and challenges, underlying the important role the latter can and should play.

A Framework for Experimenting Co-creation in Real-Life Contexts
Abstract
The chapter describes the methodology applied throughout the experimentation, the application of co-design, the tools used and their role briefly illustrating the single cases. The underlying assumption is that design methodologies and tools are more suitable to support co-creation for the inclusion of society in science and innovation since their aim is to implement co-creation processes from the ideation of new products, services and processes to their real implementation. What differentiates design from other co-creation methodologies is the role of prototypes and their experimentation in real contexts.

Framing Real-Life Experimentations as Case Studies
Abstract
The chapter describes the case studies methodology on the ground of the volume: their use and comparison are investigated from a theoretical point of view. This chapter has a twofold aim: (i) contextualise case studies and the experimentation/prototyping conducted by the pilots, then (ii) to provide a compass for going through the next chapters in which it is detailed the experience of each pilot as a case study. This reasoning is a premise for understanding and situating the relevant points emerged in the larger picture of the RRI framework.

FabLab Barcelona—Co-design With Food Surplus: Better Redistributing, Upcycling and Composting
Abstract
The chapter analyses a co-designed project in the food value chain. Looking at how to identify and stimulate new synergies among the local community in order to co-develop educational, logistic and environmental supports for better redistributing, upcycling and composting food locally, it critically presents the case of a Symbiotic System for food surplus and bio waste valorisation at a neighbourhood scale.

Polifactory. Transforming Playful Movement into Sound: Co-create a Smart System for Children with Cerebral Palsy
Abstract
This chapter explores the potential of co-creation and user innovation, investigating the physical-motor needs of children diagnosed with cerebral palsy with specific attention to the translation of movement in sound stimuli. It describes the co-design and development of BODYSOUND, a smart system that exploits a playful activity to encourage movements and transform them into sound.

Maker—Plastic In, Plastic Out: Circular Economy and Local Production
Abstract
Recognising the lack of local and economically accessible facilities, technologies, and public engagement in local recycling, the chapter tackles the challenge of introducing Circular Economy to cope with plastic waste in Copenhagen. The need for circular systemic innovation and holistic production models for recycling plastics led to consider how local micro entrepreneurs, SMEs, commercial resellers and citizens can collaborate for a common, sustainable goal. The chapter presents ‘Plastic In, Plastic Out’ (PIPO), a Circular system for local sourcing, recycling and production of sustainable plastic building materials and products.

KTP—Collectively Improving Air Quality in Krakow: A New Air Quality Plan for the Małopolska Region
Abstract
KTP’s project relates to the challenge of air pollution and the need to improve quality of life in Kraków and the Kraków Metropolitan Area. The aim is to improve the quality of the air by motivating citizens to change their ecological attitudes, transport and heating habits and support decision makers with relevant tools and instruments for better co-creation of local new policies with a user-centered approach.

Cube Design Museum—Empathic Co-design for Societal Impact
Abstract
Cube design museum addresses current and future challenges within the broader context of an ageing and shrinking society, to improve the quality of life of people of all ages. The chapter presents the development of a tool, to stimulate and facilitate new, participatory ways of policymaking, to drive citizen engagement and bottom-up social innovation: the Co-Design Canvas. It has been co-designed and tested within the context of the village of Ransdaal in the Netherlands.

Science Gallery Dublin—Open Mind: Improving Mental Health of Young People
Abstract
To face the challenge of improving mental health and well-being with young people, Science Gallery Dublin initiates a high-school programme for mentorship among students. Involving academics, NGO’s, psychologists, parents, teachers, college and high-school students, ‘Open Mind’ intends to use hobbies and individual attitudes for favouring empowerment and the overall atmosphere of the school, also leading to a long-term increased well-being and fewer mental health issues.

TRACES—In 2030, Artificial Intelligences Will Visit Museums?
Abstract
Within the SISCODE project, the science and society association TRACES, based in Paris, addresses the issue of making algorithms and artificial intelligence intelligible to their users. The project intends to raise awareness of algorithmic decision making in the citizen’s daily life through co-creation activities involving research, education, civic right organisations and policymaking. Within general cultural activities in an art-science, provocative approach, the issue has been addressed through an inversion of perspective, by analysing people’s relationship with AI when considering them as the target group of cultural productions.

Assessing Co-creation in Relation to Context for RRI Operationalisation
Abstract
Pilot projects and experimentations, especially when conducted in restricted contexts, require assessment activities in order to determine not only their success or failure, but also to identify potential for replication, best practices and obstacles to be tackled in the future. In addition to this, monitoring and assessment have been a pressing issue both in the landscapes of co-creation and RRI, the two main fields that SISCODE operates within.
