CASI Project

Mobilization and mutual learningCASI belongs to the family of projects called “mobilisation and mutual learning action plans - MMLAP”An MML approach to R&I is characterised by extensive public engagement of a wide variety of societal actors (including citizens) and by focusing on developing mutual understanding and joint solutions. The MMLAP implementation in CASI represents a multitude of activities and approaches. As a result, it produced a rich set of complimentary insights and fostered mutual learning among partners as well as among stakeholders and across sectors.3BLACK SEA HORIZON

CASI Project

ChallengesSocietal challenge 5 of H2020: Climate action, environment, resource efficiency and raw materialsSustainable innovation - Sustainable innovation is a promising, but still under-researched field, which needs further investigation. While more research on sustainability of technological innovation is still needed, sustainability of social innovation is a completely new paradigm. No universally accepted definition of sustainable innovation exists. Sustainability considerations are not sufficiently widespread in the private sector, esp. SMEs, which is one of the major drivers of innovation activities.Public engagement. Insufficient engagement of the wider public in research and innovation governance.4BLACK SEA HORIZON

Slide5

CASI Project

Specific objectivesSpecific Objective 1: Development of a working definition of sustainable innovation, building on the most common definitions, academic literature as well as expert advice internal and external to the project consortium.Specific Objective 2: The inclusion of general public concerns in assessing the impact of sustainable innovation on society in consultation workshops. Issues such as participation in the development of innovation, inclusiveness, ethics, gender and open access are considered in these sessions.Specific Objective 3: Development of a common understanding of best practices in sustainable innovation management.Specific Objective 4: Development of a

framework for assessment and management of sustainable innovation.

Specific Objective 5:

Development of specific policy recommendations

on how to improve innovation management and how sustainability considerations can be incorporated into it based on the findings of the assessment framework and public consultations.

CASI Project: sustainable innovation

Online survey on the characteristics of sustainable innovationSustainable innovation forms a separate strand of innovation, which is characterised by: i) simultaneously integrating environmental, social and financial considerations into the innovation processes; ii) having beneficial effects on the environment regardless of whether such effects were anticipated or not; iii) having participatory element and mobilising stakeholders; iv) having a longer-term perspective to measuring innovation’s impacts. Sustainable innovation is considered as being particularly well suited to contribute to protecting the environment, sustainably managing natural resources, water, biodiversity and ecosystems, as well as enabling the transition towards a green economy and society. Stakeholders – business actors, CSOs, policy makers and research and education actors – need to be included in the process of design and development of the innovation. Furthermore, interdisciplinarity of expertise is essential as it allows for considering the various possible impacts of innovation and thus improving its sustainability. These collaborations also improve the potential for generating innovative ideas and developing working solutions. 7BLACK SEA HORIZON

Slide8

CASI Project: sustainable innovation

Online survey on the characteristics of sustainable innovation – cont.The assessment of sustainable innovation is an integral part of the process of sustainable innovation management and needs to be implemented throughout the innovation cycle. Assessment needs to be strongly anchored to the SI management processes within organisations and oriented towards pre-defined sustainability-oriented goals.Management of sustainable innovation is perceived to refer to integrating sustainability in the entire innovation value chain, and needs to be positioned within companies’ strategic plans. Reinforcing gender principles in the field and strengthening women’s capacities in sustainable innovation, as well as more directly involving women in the process can foster the sustainability of innovations by bringing in a more gender-balanced perspective to the process. 8BLACK SEA HORIZON

CASI Project: SI practices

CASIPEDIACASIPEDIA - a unique bank with 500+ sustainable innovation practices mapped by the CASI partners, where activists, experts and supporters of sustainability agendas can find various initiatives combining the environmental, economic and social dimensions of sustainability. http://www.casi2020.eu/casipedia/cases/ 9BLACK SEA HORIZON

CASI Project: SI definitions

Definitions of sustainable innovationsDef 1 (long definition): “Sustainable Innovation is any incremental or radical change in the social, service, product, governance, organisational, system or marketing landscape that leads to positive environmental, economic and social transformation without compromising the needs, welfare and wellbeing of current and future generations” (Popper et al., (2016). Sustainable innovation conceptual framework. CASI project report. Deliverable 6.2)Def 2 (short definition): “Sustainable Innovation is any incremental or radical change in a socio-technical system leading to positive environmental, economic and social transformations without compromising the needs, welfare and wellbeing of current and future generations” (Popper et al., (2017). CASI-F: Common framework for the assessment and management of sustainable innovation. CASI project report. Deliverable 6.2).10BLACK SEA HORIZON

Slide11

CASI Project: CASI-F

CASI-FCASI-F: common framework for assessment and management of sustainable innovationCASI-F methodology:(Step 1) sustainability relevance and scanning: identifying ‘innovations’, ‘policies’ and ‘aspirations’ relevant to the societal challenge of ‘climate action, environment, resource efficiency and raw materials’ at national and EU levels; 11BLACK SEA HORIZON

Slide12

CASI Project: CASI-F

CASIPEDIA(Step 2) multi-criteria analysis and assessment: selecting or prioritising nominated innovations, policies and aspirations using a set of criteria that are relevant to the aforementioned societal challenge and the mobilisation and mutual learning nature of CASI; (Step 3) critical issue analysis and assessment: analysing selected innovations, policies and aspirations so as to identify and prioritise critical issues, such as barriers, drivers, opportunities and threats; (Step 4) multi-level advice management: generating and prioritising multi-level and multi-actor actions to manage prioritised critical issues; and (Step 5) action roadmaps management: developing roadmaps for the most important and urgent actions. 12BLACK SEA HORIZON

policy directions in perspective”, by Claire Nauwelaers, Advisor to the CASI projectOverview of state of the art practices at local and regional level in the field of sustainable innovation: Interreg Europe projects and Interreg IVC projects, and H2020 projectsPerspectives1. CASI vis-à-vis H2020: sustainable innovation goes beyond H2020 societal challenge 5. Sustainable innovation should be considered as well in the following fields: education, agriculture, land-planning and city management, transport. CASI calls for a broader, citizen-centred view on sustainable innovation18BLACK SEA HORIZON

Slide19

CASI Project: Perspectives

2. CASI vis-à-vis Interreg projects: strong overlap b/n priorities set by local and regional authorities and CASI: circular economy, sustainable mobility, energy efficiency, resource efficiency, waste management and renewable energies. However, the spectrum of priorities developed by CASI is wider – the need to evolve towards broader societal challenges in the form of new working models and new economic models involving social innovation and public sector innovation, as well as changes in the educational system.19BLACK SEA HORIZON
