Attention: University Community
The Department of Industrial Engineering and Innovation Sciences (IE&IS), Eindhoven University of Technology, is looking for:
Fully funded, four-year philosophy and ethics PhD position Value Sensitive Design in Innovative Procurement and Co-Creation Facilities in Energy Transitions
https://jobs.tue.nl/nl/vacature/phd-1-fte-333225.html
Fully funded, four-year philosophy and ethics PhD position Value Sensitive Design and Living Labs on Robotics and Energy Transitions
https://jobs.tue.nl/nl/vacature/phd-1fte-333228.html
Postdoctoral fellow (2,5 years full time) on Value Sensitive Design in Co-creation methods in the Energy and Robotics domains
https://jobs.tue.nl/nl/vacature/postdoctoral-fellow-25-year-full-time-333217.html
as part of a H2020 project ‘SCALINGS’
Description of the overall project
The offered positions are part of the Horizon 2020 Science with and for Society project “SCALINGS – Scaling up Co-creation: Avenues and Limits for Integrating Society in Science and Innovation”. This is a joint program of the Philosophy and Ethics group at TU/e, together with 8 other universities across Europe as Technical University Munich, Technical University Denmark, Mines Paris Tech, ESADE Spain and University College London.
Co-creation practice – and co-creation research – are at a crossroads: More than ever, initiatives to boost innovation through collaboration among diverse actors are flourishing across Europe. Yet, this mainstreaming poses new challenges to better understand “co-creation processes and outcomes under various cultural, societal and regulatory backgrounds to allow better-targeted policy support” (SwafS-13-17). To date, no systematic studies exist that detail how co-creation instruments operate under different socio-cultural conditions, i.e. if “best practices” will be effective elsewhere or if the resulting products and services are compatible with new markets.
SCALINGS addresses the challenge of mainstreaming co-creation across a diverse Europe head-on: In the first ever rigorous comparative study, we will investigate the implementation, uptake, and outcomes of three co-creation instruments (public procurement of innovation, co-creation facilities, and living labs) in two technical domains (robotics and urban energy) across 10 countries. Using comparative case studies and coordinated cross-country experiments, we explore if and how these instruments can be generalized, transferred, or scaled up to new socio-cultural, economic, or institutional conditions to unleash their innovative power.
Based on this unique data set, we will develop two new transformative frameworks – “situated co-creation” and “socially robust scaling” – to guide the wider dissemination of co-creation. We will synthesize our findings into an “EU Policy Roadmap” to support ongoing EU innovation policy efforts. Empirically, SCALINGS is closely integrated with over two dozen European co-creation initiatives that deal with cross-cultural transferability on a daily basis. Together with these partners, we will co-create enhanced practices that feed directly back into their work and strategy. Finally, we will launch a training program (boot camp) on co-creation in diverse settings for other EU consortia.
A more detailed description of the TU/e’s part in the research program is available upon request.
Further specifications of the three projects can be found via the links above.
