Communities of Innovation Sample Clauses

Communities of Innovation. In the Deliverable D7.8, issued in October 2017, some theoretical background was provided. However, the main idea is that in practical terms, these Communities of Innovation (CoI’s) are a very flexible way to organise our approaches and interactions with end-users. It is worth to remark the event that took place in Mafra, Portugal, organized by ISA and supported by HKV and TUDelft, where BRIGAID innovators and Portuguese end users could present and meet.

Communities of Innovation. The CoI’s space allows BRIGAID to have a better insight into the drivers and barriers to innovation, in relation to the institutions and policies that affect the way different agents interact, access, exchange and use knowledge and in short, bring these innovations into action. The activities carried out within the frame of BRIGAID CoI’s include dissemination as well as two-way communication activities. Each CoI shall aim to involve and bring together several actors, specifically innovators, end users, leading sectoral users, investors and societal interest groups-, in areas with common problems, e.g. risk reduction to a specific hazard or cluster of hazards, and environmental conditions. These actors shall be interested in reducing the current and expected vulnerability to natural hazards in a specific geographic area by facilitating the market outreach and uptake of innovative and operational products and solutions. The strategy for the next period will focus on facilitating interaction within CoIs or potential CoIs, in order to strengthen their sustainability over time. Participation of end users in the stocktaking process, demonstration events, in the Communities of Innovation and in the Advisory Board of the project allows high level discussions on how to apply these innovations in end users practice. In terms of planning, Identification of potential BRIGAID CoI’s take into account the results from the market scoping exercise (Deliverable 6.1), the main topics of BRIGAID: innovations, geographical characteristics, potential engagement of end-users and innovation platforms which signed letters of commitment, and potential involvement of partners. In the next BRIGAID meeting project in Cartagena, Wednesday 17 October there will be a Communities of Innovation Workshop. There is a plan under development to facilitate the creation and sustainability of CoIs, with an initial planning facilitated thanks to two side events run at the Berlin Meeting (May 2017).This plan will gather feedback from the experience of the frontrunner CoIs and will focus on how to engage and support stakeholder interaction, find spaces, virtual and physical, where actors can interact and exchange knowledge. The plan for the CoI process will be reported in D7.9 Intermediate report on the activity of Communities of Innovation (M33).
