LOCATION

DESCRIPTION
The main objective is to overcome the gap that exists between social innovation and business-driven innovation and to create a space where agents of the quadruple helix can join and co-create together. We are generating a 4H model and piloting it in three EU regions. The idea is that the model can be used in more regions and that it can also be applied to other topics besides health and well-being.
METHODOLOGY
We plan to start with an inspirational presentation on the integer 4h model, followed by a co-creation session with the use of prepared canvases with small groups composed by actors from the quadruple helix. We will finalise by sharing the collective knowledge through a short presentation of key findings from each of the working groups. We will finalise with an open discussion for the establishment of sustainable collaborative model.
