Assessing Co-creation in Relation to Context for RRI Operationalisation

Pilot projects and experimentations, especially when conducted in restricted contexts, require assessment activities in order to determine not only their success or failure, but also to identify potential for replication, best practices and obstacles to be tackled in the future. In addition to this, monitoring and assessment have been a pressing issue both in the landscapes of co-creation and RRI, the two main fields that SISCODE operates within. Especially in the field of RRI this issue can be traced back to a gap between the theoretical concepts underlying RRI and their effective transition into practice [4, 17]. The scope of this chapter is reporting on the SISCODE approach to assess the project pilots within the context of co-creation. In the evaluation process, all aspects of the experimentation were considered in order to effectively derive considerations from theory to practice and vice versa.
