D2.8 Plan and report on co-creation activities V1

D2.8 “Plan and report on co-creation activities V1” provides the plan for the co-creation sessions and workshops that will take place within the framework of T2.6 “Co-creation Sessions and Workshops” of the AI4PublicPolicy project. This task contributes towards the active involvement of the local ecosystems of the AI4PublicPolicy pilot sites (i.e., citizens and businesses in Athens, Genoa, Lisbon, Nicosia, Burgas) in the policy creation, evaluation and optimization processes. Co-creation sessions and workshops will be organized, initially at the use cases’ locations and later in the project in different locations from the use cases, to obtain input that will drive the innovation and technical activities of the project. The sessions and workshops will address functional and non-functional properties of the AI4PublicPolicy outcomes. The co-creation workshops will have follow-up sessions with the different focus groups to ensure that the obtained feedback and the up-to-date developments of the project address their emerging requirements. Additionally, the outcomes of this task will feed the sustainability and exploitation activities of the project given the facilitated interaction with the stakeholders and the focus groups.
