New perspectives for policymaking with co-creation

SISCODE MOOC First lesson

After having studied and experimented with the application of co-creation methodologies in policy design for the past two years, the SISCODE project will publish the learnings of this global analysis by converting them into a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC). This introductory course will explore the different aspects of co-creation, and highlight the concrete assets that active public engagement can bring to policy design. Especially tailored to those working in the field of policy-making, the programme will of course be open to everyone eager to discover this methodology and its implementation.

Launched at the beginning of 2021, the course will be composed of 5 chapters delivered in 5 weeks. Within each chapter, different experts in the field will walk participants through the specific aspects of the whole co-creation process cycle.

List of sessions:

  • Week 1: Why is policymaking in urgent need of innovation?
  • Week 2: How can user-centricity and co-creation improve policies?
  • Week 3: What is the (real) problem?
  • Week 4: How can we co-design solutions to our community’s problems?
  • Week 5: How can we implement solutions and make them sustainable over time?

Interested in learning more about the potential and benefits of using user-centred methodologies for policymaking?

Project

SISCODE

SISCODE is a three-year project aiming to understand the co-creation phenomenon that is flourishing in Europe (in fab labs, living labs, social innovations, smart cities, communities and regions) and to analyse the context and conditions that support its effective introduction, scalability and replication. Eventually this will help bridge the gap between the process of co-constructing policies and their implementation. Co-creation will be analysed in particular in the light of Responsible Research and Innovation and Science, technology and innovation policies.
