Menu of Co-creation Methods. Deliverable 3.1.

Abstract

The ORION project seeks to promote institutional change in life science research performing and research funding organisations by performing co-creation experiments. Co-creation experiences are a way in which to connect multiple stakeholders, bringing them together to discover their interests and values and using these opportunities to discuss, develop and implement projects or ideas to achieve new, inclusive, forward-thinking research strategies. As a result, co-creation experiences allow high-quality interactions and unique experiences, with those involved becoming connected, informed and empowered. In order to facilitate the implementation of Open Science in any discipline of scientific research, we have collated a menu of methods specifically used to co-create. These methods are a subgroup of methods that are available through other European projects such as the RRI-Toolkit and Engage2020. This menu will be disseminated via the ORION network and on the ORION website and showcased at the UK ENGAGE Conference hosted by the National Cordinating Centre for Public Engagement in December 2017.
