What is innovation policy in a world where innovation already happen in abundance (and whose systemic implications are not always predictable)? How to support innovation in a direction that is meaningful to society? How to engage citizens in shaping the innovation policies and enacting them? In this stream of research we develop new frameworks and tools to support citizens, communities and policy makers create an environment that fosters positive change, with a special focus on design-driven policies.
