Background
Co-creation is based on different sectors, such as public, private and voluntary organisations, developing solutions through long-term and equal collaborative relationships.
Co-creation has not been supported by its own research infrastructure in the humanities and social sciences field until now, and this project involves pioneering work in this field. Co-creation is particularly relevant for stubborn problems (‘wicked problems’) that we face as a society. The project places particular emphasis on work with climate and energy transition, democratic renewal, and comprehensive school development with an emphasis on education for sustainable development.
About the project
The project will strengthen Include as a knowledge and transformation actor through the establishment of a database to store results, processes, experiences, input and comments from co-creation. This database will be indexed so that the content is easy to find and use in new co-creation processes. It is crucial that negative results are also included and indexed, as this is a field that is experimental in nature and where there are many failed initiatives. This archive offers opportunities for research on the results of co-creation.
Collaboration
The project is a collaboration between CICERO, Lillestrøm and Drammen municipalities, the University of Gerona and Include/UiO.
