D2.4 Open Innovation and Co-creation workshops

Abstract

In the GATEKEEPER project two cycles of open innovation and co-creation workshops will be organised to elicit dynamic positions at the pilot sites towards needs and values. This document provides an initial background information and a baseline scenario for these workshops (template and the script). The organisation of these workshops will contribute to the mapping of Dynamic User Needs and Values through a Responsible Research and Innovation Framework (developed in T2.2). The template and script are included to enable the organisation of similar workshops at pilot sites throughout Europe in order to ensure the quality and easy correlation of the feedback collected. During the workshops, both initial and future positions towards needs and values in relation to technologies for smarter living homes will be explored. The script and template facilitate dialogues about specific needs and values, such as trust and privacy. The aim is to guide workshop organisers in setting up and performing the workshops. The workshops will be further tailored to the specific pilot sites / use cases in collaboration with the partners who are involved as workshop organisers. A focus group about stakeholders’ requirements will be organised in T2.3. This focus group can be integrated in the workshop program as suggested in the planning included in this draft, if preferred by workshop organisers. The D2.3 will include a detailed guideline (template and script) for the organisation and management of focus groups to be followed by pilot sites.
