The RiConfigure project aims to promote the diversification of groups involved in research and innovation (R&I) through the participation of different stakeholders and the dissemination and training of professionals and legislators. The project will develop 04:00 Social Labs focusing on the participation of people from research, industry, the public sector and civil society. Each group will explore how to initiate and develop cross-sectoral collaborations in the field of R&D. The project will be complemented by more than one hundred empirical case studies, which will help the project to develop a conceptual framework for promoting new collaborations in R&R.
