Description du projet
Renforcer les capacités d’innovation par la conception dans les environnements urbains
L’innovation joue un rôle important non seulement pour la durabilité économique, mais aussi pour la vie sociale et culturelle. Les villes disposent d’un potentiel intrinsèque de génération d’innovation, mais manquent souvent d’un climat organisationnel concret. Le projet DESIGNSCAPES, financé par l’UE, entend développer l’innovation basée sur la conception en Europe par le biais d’un soutien financier à des initiatives génératives phares et à des efforts de renforcement des capacités impliquant des parties prenantes de différents domaines. Le projet adoptera une «approche de gouvernance favorable» et proposera un cadre d’évaluation global original, favorisant la convergence entre la recherche, la politique et la pratique. Il entend générer des résultats tels qu’un aperçu de la ville, un catalogue européen des innovations fondées sur la conception, des modules de formation pour les animateurs locaux, des notes d’information, des publications électroniques et une conférence finale.
Objectif
Innovation is relevant not only to economic sustainability but also to social and cultural life. Therefore, the creation of an organizational climate enabling and catalyzing innovation deserves special attention and needs to be explored from a sound operational perspective. Cities embed this organizational climate (Jacobs, 1969) and are by nature innovation generative systems.
It is within this perspective that the DESIGNSCAPES project aims to realize a better uptake, and further enhancement and upscaling, of Design enabled Innovation in Europe, through direct financial support to flagship and innovation generating initiatives as well as a huge capacity building effort targeting multiple stakeholder groups (citizens, researchers, practitioners, innovators and policy makers). In so doing, we will foster the linkages between research, policy and practice and contribute to making Europe a global leader in the domain.
The main features of the DESIGNSCAPES project are the following:
- It builds upon the generative potential of innovation in cities
- It leverages Design Thinking and Design Driven Innovation concepts as blueprints.
- It has a direct and purposeful focus on the scalability potential of Design enabled Innovation
- It proposes an original, holistic, evaluation, replication and impacts assessment framework.
- It makes use of a “supportive governance approach”.
Expected results include: a City Snap Shot tested in 10 countries and 12 cities, a EU Catalogue of Design enabled innovations, Training Modules for local facilitators and innovators, Policy Briefs, e-Publications and a final Conference. Approximately €1.5 million will distributed among 50+ new Design enabled initiatives as required by the H2020 call through 3 consecutive yearly rounds of a 3-staged Technical and Financial instrument akin to the US and NL SBIR program and the SME instrument of the EC.
