This project, led by Rob Raven, Christoph Brodnik, Xue Ruo Ng and Megan Farrelly from Monash University, analyses Australia’s research and innovation (R&I) policy through the lens of ‘three frames’: • innovation for growth (Frame 1), which focuses on R&D investment and economic competitiveness; • national systems of innovation (Frame 2), which emphasises coordination, collaboration, … from Challenge-led innovation policy in Australia

Experimenting with Transformative Innovation Policy (TIP) is critical to find new and better ways of contributing to a Green Transition. This policy brief draws on theoretical and practical perspectives of TIP informed policy experimentation and makes six recommendations that suggest how European research and innovation policy making can be improved by it.   … from Experimenting with transformative innovation policy: Theoretical and practical perspectives

Transformative Innovation Policy (TIP) encompasses a variety of policy frameworks that seek to use the potential of science, technology, and innovation to address societal challenges. To do so, it relies on inclusive co-creation processes for the design, implementation and evaluation programmes and policies that can drive systemic transformation towards sustainability. To date there are few … from Co-creation for Transformative Innovation Policy: an implementation case for projects structured as portfolio of knowledge services

This short report created with EIT Climate-KIC defines and illustrates the role of intermediaries in relation to the transformative outcomes sought by TIP practitioners. It explores how intermediaries can push change beyond system optimisation into more transformative territory, outlining three key messages: • that intermediaries can play a role in enabling transformative outcomes by building … from The role of intermediary actors in transformative change

The MOTION self-assessment tool is an evaluation tool that can be used to assess the quality of transformative outcomes in a specific initiative. It is a test tool for use online in Miro, duplicated from the MOTION Handbook: Developing a Transformative Theory of Change. This tool can be used as part of the monitoring, evaluation … from MOTION self-assessment tool (for quality of transformative outcomes)

This extract from the MOTION Handbook explains how transformative outcomes are a key ingredient in the transformative theory of change approach. It highlights how transformative outcomes reflect and make tangible the underlying ‘theory’ (the multi-level perspective), guiding us to think through the process of system transformation, and sets out how the 12 transformative outcomes help … from Transformative outcomes as a way to organise transformative portfolios

This is a short extract from the MOTION handbook, introducing the notion of formative evaluation, and how it was incorporated into the MOTION project through the theory of change approach, which was used as a focal point to incentivise learning and reflection among project partners. … from Formative evaluation as an opportunity and method for learning in a theory of change process

This is a test Miro tool duplicated from the MOTION Handbook: Developing a Transformative Theory of Change. It can be used to help us develop and/or revise a transformative system change strategy for a project, programme or organisation. This strategy can be applied within an initiative and accompany it throughout its lifecycle, serving as an … from Tool: MOTION Transformative Theory of Change

A visual representation of the Theory of Change for the SATURN project, funded by EIT Climate-KIC, which aims to reconnect public and private stakeholders with their landscape identity and territorial characteristics, provide a flexible framework and tools for multi-functional land use planning around cities, and ensure economic sustainability and scalability through funding, collaboration, and capacity-building … from Transformative Theory of Change for the SATURN project

This graphic illustrates a Theory of Change for the ACT on NBS (Adaptive Cities Through Nature-Based Solutions) project, which was funded by EIT Climate-KIC to increase the uptake of Nature-Based Solutions. through connecting cities, researchers and experts. The work was undertaken as part of the EIT Climate-KIC MOTION project, which sought to develop and test … from Transformative Theory of Change for the ACT on NBS project

This short extract from the MOTION handbook introduces and explains the Theory of Change approach as a structured way of thinking about how and why change happens. It suggests that a Theory of Change is not simply a planning tool, but a framework for making explicit the assumptions, causal pathways and intended outcomes that link … from What is a Theory of Change?

Public and private innovation organisations strive to contribute to tackling global challenges such as climate change and growing inequality. System change that drives a sustainability transformation has become a shared goal and innovation policy and actions play a key role in this process. However, transformations are long-term processes that require interventions at various levels and … from MOTION handbook

Extract from Section 1 of the MOTION handbook, introducing the notion of transformative system change and the Multi-Level Perspective as a framework to understand it.   … from MOTION handbook extract: What is transformative system change?

In December 2021, the MOTION project, a collaboration of TIPC and EIT Climate-KIC, came to an end. During its two years of working closely with partners from three EIT Climate-KIC projects – ACT on NBS, SATURN and SuSMo – MOTION supported capacity building and monitoring, evaluation and learning (MEL) activities to enhance their transformative potential. … from MONITORING, EVALUATION AND LEARNING FOR TRANSFORMATIVE CHANGE PROJECTS: LESSONS FROM MOTION’S COLLABORATION WITH SUSMO, SATURN AND ACT ON NBS
