Community

Through COLOURS CoLabs, CoSpaces and the digital platform CoHub, the COLOURS Alliance will bridge the gap between the theories of Open Innovation in academia and existing practical innovation spaces and policies in European regions.

CoLab

CoLab represents a series of 63 innovation processes specifically designed to foster collaboration and creativity. These processes are intended for students and stakeholders from all four Quadruple Helix sections who are invited to work on Smart Specialisation Goals in the region, connected to the Green, the Digital and the Social Transition. CoLab aims to generate groundbreaking ideas and drive innovative solutions through active participation and collective effort.

CoSpaces

We are also physically creating meeting-points of all the stakeholders across the multiple helices of co-creation, from Academia, Businesses, Civil society, Governmental institutions, Other alliances, International organisations, Citizens and all stakeholders.

CoHubs

CoHub is a digital platform for stakeholder collaborations designed to significantly enhance the scope of education and learning within our Alliance and beyond. It is a transformative tool that aims to revolutionise educational practices by expanding access and opportunities for students, educators, and stakeholders alike.
