D4.1 – New models for social innovation
The goal of this document is to present a framework illustrating models of social innovation processes developed in the context of the blue bioeconomy within the BlueRev project. This framework incorporates key insights from pilot studies conducted across three regions (Denmark, Greenland, and Estonia), each with unique socio-economic and environmental contexts. These regions represent the empirical foundation for testing and refining social innovation models aimed at fostering environmentally and socially responsible behaviour among stakeholders in marine and coastal communities.
Additionally, this deliverable provides insights to draft the deliverable 4.4 under Work Package 4 (WP4): A best practice guideline including the best practices coming from the 3 pilot regions and informs Work Package 5 (WP5): Pilot regions Demonstration by identifying critical variables, phenomena requiring further research, and potential indicators for scenario planning. This document builds on previous deliverables, particularly Deliverable D3.2, which established a baseline for social innovation processes in sustainable blue bioeconomy initiatives.
