On the 7th May in Brussels, in collaboration with Fondazione Giannino Bassetti, Stickydot delivered a full-day capacity-building session for a group of Horizon Europe projects funded under the call Experimentation and exchange of good practices for value creation. Coordinators and partners from Beagle, Kaleidos, ERIS, GreenEsteem and MedView projects joined for a day focused on citizen engagement in Knowledge Valorisation.

Stickydot and Fondazione Giannino Bassetti walked participants through the evolution of the project’s Knowledge Valorisation framework and shared methods, tools and hands-on experiences drawn from the CO-VALUE pilots. Citizen engagement is at the heart of what Stickydot does and this was an opportunity to share what we have learned with CO-VALUE project and pilots that can meaningfully apply it in their own contexts.

The following day, on the 8th May, all six project coordinators and our Policy Officers came together for a joint meeting. The agenda combined project updates, collective reflection on policy lessons emerging from each project’s experimentation and a first mapping of a shared roadmap for future collaboration across the group.

Two productive days that reinforced both the practice and the community around Knowledge Valorisation in Europe.
