CASI
Public participation in the development of a common framework for the evaluation and management of sustainable innovation.
Climate action, environment, resource efficiency and raw material efficiency
The CASI project was proposed in response to one of the Grand Challenges set out in the European Union's Horizon 2020 program, namely "Climate action, environment, resource efficiency and raw materials".
It represented an EU-wide cross-sectoral partnership on innovation-related challenges and took into account not only the impact of social and technological innovation, but also the types of actors involved and their inherent interests. In doing so, it effectively integrated the perspectives of civil society, SMEs, industry, policy stakeholders and leading academics.
This collaboration investigated the scope of sustainable innovation as a social phenomenon and made it possible to develop a framework for evaluating sustainable innovation practices, the application of which could be successfully integrated into public policy development.
