Open, social, and responsible innovation

This policy brief explores the importance of open, social, and responsible innovation to promote transformative changes.

Transformative change policies imply greater regional policy experimentations making Interreg Europe projects the ideal space for policy learning. This policy brief features five policy recommendations using the experience of Interreg Europe projects to inspire policymakers to better design and deliver open, social, and responsible innovation policies.
