‘Participatory Methodologies for Policymaking Processes’ workshop within the EIT Regional Innovation Scheme Transitions Policy Lab.
The European Green Deal is the EU’s strategy to move towards climate neutrality and circular economy by the transformative policy. This transformation requires the alignment of multiple stakeholders and instruments with existing regional innovation plans such as the Cohesion Policy. Policy mixes emerge to reinforce synergies and complementarities between EU, national and regional innovation initiatives.
The Transition Policy Lab addresses the goal of shifting practices for policymaking by removing barriers for enabling the necessary institutional change. It is aimed to build capacity to co-design and implement systemic strategies that can lead to potentially transformative policies and actions.
It will consist of five interrelated capacity-building activities implemented through three different formats: multi-stakeholders setting, science-based training and executive programmes.
The First Session: Co-Creation for Policy
This first session will introduce the policy co-creation process to structure multi-stakeholders policymaking processes. It will provide practical examples to learn about Policy co-creation methods for mission-oriented policies.
The material shared is part of a forthcoming (Fall, 2021) handbook by the Joint Research Centre (JRC) –the European Commission’s science and knowledge service—and EIT Climate-KIC, developed from evidence in running policy co-creation workshops across Europe and in particular in Southern and Central Eastern Europe.
