  • Applications within Theme 3 should cover the development of co-governance approaches for sustainable transitions. The research will deepen the interchange between systems thinking and sustainable innovation from a systemic design perspective. It will address distributed and shared power, learning and responsibility across diverse stakeholders for building a systemic design capability to accelerate sustainable transitions. And it will advance knowledge on governance structures to enable coordination across individual, organizational and ecosystem levels.
  • The expected results are novel design and innovation approaches to facilitate the complex transition to a more sustainable and circular economy, by taking into account the nested structure of recursive systems.
