Co-creation — the practice of bringing together diverse actors in a joint innovation activity to mutual benefit — has emerged as a widely desired key resource in current attempts to enhance innovation processes and outcomes. The European Research Consortium SCALINGS explores the avenues and limits for the wider dissemination and use of co-creation practices across Europe. Through a multi-sited, embedded, and comparative experimental research design, SCALINGS studies the unique implementations and outcomes of three co-creation instruments: innovation procurement, living labs, and co-creation facilities. The consortium focuses on two technology domains (robotics and urban energy systems) across 10 partner countries. SCALINGS aims to strengthen opportunities for best practice transfer and a socially robust upscaling of co-creation, while improving our understanding of how co-creation practices relate to the social, cultural, economic, and institutional environments in which they are implemented. Funded by the European H2020 Program “Science with and for society,” SCALINGS is an interdisciplinary project that brings together social scientists, engineers, policy-makers, and industry partners from all over Europe. The project SCALINGS is funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme. SCALINGS is funded within the specific objective Science with and for Society of Horizon 2020. It includes all four partner universities of the EuroTech Consortium as well as a range of other leading universities in Europe.
