This project explored second order learning as a result from the Covid-19 pandemic throughout several of TIPC partner agencies
Second Order Learning in TIPC (SOL)
Initiative Scope
Single initiative (e.g. R&I project)Which unsustainable structures & practices (Regime) does the initiative address?
The aim of this project was to explore how business as usual within the TIPC community and the sustainability transitions network was affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. Therefore it somehow takes STI policy as the regime, even if transformative.
What are the sustainable structures & practices (niches) being created by the initiative?
Persons, households and organisations are recovered as a relevant unit of analysis, with a special focus on frameworks, beliefs, assumptions and behaviours.
Which sector does the initiative primarily target for change?
Science, Technology and Innovation
Is the initiative an experiment?
YES: It can be considered as an experiment as we joined a multinational group of persons working in the innovation sector and explored their own learnings from the pandemic in the different contexts. It was new in the sense that it explored how innovators innovate.
