Approach for organising open Sample Clauses

Approach for organising open digital innovation contests (Xxxxxxxxxxx et al. 2017) The key message of the model to organise innovation as a contest can be summarised as follows: Open innovation challenges provide a complement to traditional models for development by distributing the innovation practice to networks of developers external to the contest organisers. The success contest driven innovation challenges require an organisational form that both stimulates external developers to participate and supports the organisers to keep control over the innovation process and its outcomes. Following the management approach presented in figure 3.1, the SET4BIO consortia organised WP3 in three distinct phases. This report as well as D3.4 “Identification of topics for SET4BIO Innovation Challenge” provides an account of the activities performed in the pre-contest phase, i.e. M1-M11. The guidelines provided in Xxxxxxxxxxx et al. (2017) were used to design a workshop-driven model to define and set up the SET4BIO Innovation Challenge (as depicted in figure 3.2) Utilising the consortia agreement as a basis, three workshops were organised to determine which type of innovation challenge to use and how to transform the idea of a SET4BIO innovation challenge into a manageable process to attract external innovators to contribute to the projects’ vision. A core WP3 staff was put together with members from RISE (innovation management), ETA (communication), Circe (funding opportunities), FNR (industry connections, anchoring with IWG8), VTT (anchoring with IWG8) and SINTEF (funding opportunities). The purpose of the core staff was to both ensure momentum in the design and launch of the challenge, but also to ensure collaboration with adjacent WPs to link the challenge process to activities in these WPs to both facilitate input to the design as well as output to promote the success of these WPs.
