Strengthening sustainable innovation policy with CASI tools: Insights from and for Bulgaria

Research output: Book/ReportCommissioned report

Abstract

Sustainable innovation forms the basis for the new solutions of and opportunities for the future although it has not yet achieved an established programmatic policy position. The CASI project has developed a set of tools, which can strengthen the development of sustainable innovation policy. This set of tools includes a data bank, a citizen engagement methodology, citizen agendas and a framework for sustainable innovation. This policy brief reviews and showcases how these SI tools can be used when strengthening sustainable innovation policy.

In Bulgaria a strong consensus emerged on the need for more active engagement of citizens, CSOs and other relevant stakeholders in the policy making processes in general and those in the field of science, technology and innovation (STI) in particular. The various CASI tools provide a source of information, knowledge and inspiration to tackle the identified policy needs and strengthen the participatory approach in policy making in the Bulgarian context.
