The Dutch Research Council (NWO): KIC Funds Three Projects for Accelerating Mission-Driven Innovation through Collaborative Research
(IN BRIEF) The Knowledge and Innovation Covenant (KIC) has awarded funding to three projects under the ‘Collaboration in mission-driven innovation’ call. These projects involve interdisciplinary consortia of knowledge institutions, private entities, and public partners. The research aims to explore ways to design and maintain complex collaborations that accelerate mission-driven innovation in response to societal challenges such as climate change, cybersecurity, and an ageing population. The awarded projects will address challenges in various sectors by investigating the management of complex collaborations to drive mission-oriented innovation.
(PRESS RELEASE) THE HAGUE, 9-Aug-2023 — /EuropaWire/ — Three projects have been awarded funding in the Knowledge and Innovation Covenant’s ‘Collaboration in mission-driven innovation’ call. Interdisciplinary consortia of knowledge institutions and private and public partners will conduct research on how to properly design and maintain complex collaborations to accelerate mission-driven innovation.
Climate change, cybersecurity, an ageing population: the Dutch government’s Mission-driven Top Sectors and Innovation Policy (MTIB) puts major societal challenges on the agenda. Multi-stakeholder collaboration is essential to tackle these challenges. But this collaboration can also be complex. Three awarded projects will investigate how to manage these complex collaborations in order to accelerate mission-driven innovation. The research topics cover several challenges in different sectors.
The awarded projects, in alphabetical order of project title, are:

Dutch healthcare accounts for 7-8% of the total greenhouse gas emissions. In hospitals, at least 20% of this derives from the operating theatre. This includes waste, inhalation gases for anaesthesia, energy for air refreshment and medicine residues in waste water. To change the behaviour of all stakeholders, we assembled a very diverse team to make the operating theatre greener by gaining insight in the biggest polluters. This project aims to fill knowledge gaps but also to provide tools that enhance trust, acceptance and a change in behaviour for the myriad of stakeholders.

The mission of the Dutch government is to render the agricultural system fully sustainable. Despite agriculture being among the most innovative Dutch sectors, solutions remain underdeveloped and hard to diffuse. This project aims to foster new collaborations among all stakeholders as to develop and transfer agricultural innovations within and across ecosystems. We develop a digital recommender system for new collaborations as well as tools for ecosystem governance, coalition building, and joint business model development.

The logistics workforce often lacks the knowledge and skills to utilize the rapidly developing ICT-innovations. Addressing this problem, our SMART4L proposal aims to increase the learning capacity of logistics companies and the employability of the logistics workforce by (re)designing, optimizing, and substantiating three regional learning communities (Port of Twente, Logistics Lab Zwolle and Kansen met Data-Datalab) in which companies, knowledge-, educational-, and sector institutions collaborate. SMART4L will do so with key insights about effective design principles and social processes for collaborative learning and innovation adoption, and by developing a ICT platform to facilitate knowledge sharing and learning among stakeholders.
About the call
The Dutch government’s Mission-driven Top Sectors and Innovation Policy (MTIB) identifies major challenges that require both technological and societal innovation, with societal earning capacity as the starting point. Societal earning capacity arises when an innovation has societal impact and simultaneously helps to boost economic earning capacity. The desired combination of technological and societal innovation requires knowledge of the complex collaboration between stakeholders and refers to a wide range of societal and technical challenges.
The aim of the call is to develop knowledge and establish strategies for action that can be used for this complex multi-stakeholder collaboration. The knowledge gained can improve the design, start-up and maintenance of new and existing partnerships, with the aim of accelerating mission-driven innovation.
