This second workshop on needs assessment, run in Alicante at the Science Park, brought together several PCA affiliated companies to explore key areas of co-valorisation and citizen engagement in research and innovation.

The workshop was an opportunity to share insights and experiences from various European projects involving collaboration between researchers, businesses, public administration, and civil society, offering a well-rounded view of co-creation efforts across different sectors.

The companies’ input was absolutely central here as they explored how to integrate citizen engagement into their business models, discussing barriers, needs, and opportunities for making this integration successful.

This workshop sparked meaningful discussions that will help shape our experiments within the CO-VALUE project, as we seek new ways of involving citizens in knowledge valorisation.
