Project description
Healthcare innovation in regional environments
EU Framework Programmes are particularly sensitive to the impacts scientific research and technological development have on society. Responsible research and innovation (RRI) can significantly support interconnections between healthcare research, innovation policies and testing practices. The EU-funded CHERRIES project is a consortium consisting of 12 institutions that include prestigious universities, research organisations, SMEs, healthcare institutions and regional authorities from seven EU Member States. The project practices RRI processes and supports healthcare-related innovations in regional environments, aiming to detect those innovations suitable for successful marketisation. The project will conduct the first pilot tests in three EU regions, to be followed by another three. CHERRIES will contribute to producing positive societal, democratic, environmental and scientific effects on the piloted territories.
Objective
The CHERRIES consortium, consisting of 12 renowned and EU-FP experienced universities, research organisations, SMEs, CSOs, healthcare organisations incl. a private hospital, business and innovation centres and regional authorities from seven European countries. The CHERRIES model will support healthcare research and innovation policy and pilot actions by interlinking RRI, demand-side policy and territorial innovation models incl. smart specialisation. This pilot innovation process will be implemented and tested in the territories of Murcia (ES), Örebro (SW) and the Republic of Cyprus (CY). Subsequently, three additional Mirror territories will be supported in adopting the CHERRIES model. The model applies RRI methods in the innovation process, not only contributing to more innovative territorial environments but also to more suitable single innovations that therefore have a higher chance of being widely adopted and establish them successfully on the market. With this innovative design processes, the project contributes to more open, transparent and democratic R&I systems in the engaged territories and beyond, creating societal, democratic, environmental, economic and scientific impacts as well as tackling transformation processes of the organisations involved.
