Fostering knowledge valorisation through citizen engagement

This report provides an analysis of citizen engagement for knowledge valorisation practices, drawing on 60 selected case studies from 37 countries, across the EU and internationally. The report describes the benefits of participatory processes and explores key elements for successful valorisation of knowledge and research results with the engagement of citizens. Based on the evidence, it provides possible action points for research and innovation actors for effective participatory practices for knowledge valorisation. The analysis highlights a gap in employing a clearly defined measurement framework to assess the efficacy of participatory processes in value creation, and provides an evaluation framework including key performance indicators that can serve as a tool for researchers and practitioners.
