This interview by Jenny Witte with Tatiana Fernández, Head of Economic Strategy at the Government of Catalonia, explores how Catalonia is implementing Transformative Innovation Policy (TIP) through its smart specialisation strategy. It explores the practical application of TIP principles through the design of Shared Agendas — ecosystem-based, place- and challenge-led missions that empower stakeholders to … from Transforming innovation policy in Catalonia: An interview with Tatiana Fernández Sirera

Inspired by the human development values and capability approach that are in tune with its ethos, the Universidad de Ibagué developed a participatory process to build a comprehensive capabilities list for the university community and the external actors that cooperate with it. As a private institution serving a region beset by conflict, the university feels … from Expanding Epistemic Capability in Participatory Decision-Making Processes: The Universidad de Ibagué Capabilities List

This paper explores how the University as social entity has great potential to confront epistemic injustices by expanding epistemic capabilities. To do this, we primarily follow the contributions of scholars such as Miranda Fricker and José Medina. The epistemic capabilities and epistemic injustice nexus will be explored via two empirical cases: the first one is … from Epistemic Capabilities and Epistemic Injustice: What is the Role of Higher Education in Fostering Epistemic Contributions of Marginalized Knowledge Producers?

This background paper serves as an Annex to the Unit- ed Nation’s Guidebook for the Preparation of Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) for SDGs Roadmaps. Its purpose is to provide an overview of the existing methodologies and approaches that can be used to develop the Roadmaps. While the first framework for STI for SDGs Roadmaps … from Background Paper: Overview of the Existing STI for SDGs Roadmapping Methodologies

Highly complex and uncertain environments require experimentation and a different approach to evaluation. This paper makes the case for a ‘formative evaluataion’ approach and explores the implications of following this approach for the skills, attitudes and values needed by those inovlved in the evaluation process. This article presents our approach to the evaluation of transformative … from Evaluating transformative innovation policy. Insights from two experimental policies

This in-depth article presents the TIPC approach to the evaluation of transformative innovation policies and practical experience of implementing this: in work on food policy with Sweden’s Innovation Agency (Vinnova), and in the ACT on NBS (Adaptive Cities through Nature Based Solutions) project. To be consistent with the principles and objectives of these policies, an … from Evaluating transformative innovation policy: Insights from two experimental policies

This is a foundational text for the TIP evaluation process, termed ‘Formative Evaluation’. Transformative Innovation Policies (TIPs) assert that addressing the key challenges currently facing our societies requires profound changes in current socio-technical systems. To leverage such ‘socio-technical transitions’ calls for a different, broad mix of research and innovation policies, with particular attention being paid … from A formative approach to the evaluation of Transformative Innovation Policies

This practical planning document was developed during the pilot phase of TIPC to help researchers and practitioners from Africa (and other TIPC regions) to prepare to develop the transformative learning history. A learning history is an example of what is called in transition studies a second order learning process, helping us to consider how to … from Transformative Innovation Learning Histories methodology: Principles and practical details

This research brief distils and consolidates the learning from the pilot year of the Transformative Innovation Policy Consortium (TIPC). Activities in this period included country reviews, case studies in each of the five member countries, and two synthesis workshops. Together, these activities provided insight into the diverse expressions of Transformative Innovation Policy (TIP) already taking … from Developing a Shared Understanding of Transformative Innovation Policy (Produced with contributions from TIPC members and SPRU TIPC Team)
