Deliverable 6.6 “Endorsement of territorial transformative outlooks. Summary report” presents the process of introducing the transformative outlooks (TOs) to stakeholders and policymakers in the four participating territories and the acknowledgement of the TOs, as follows:
■ Municipality of Thalwil, Switzerland;
■ Sofia Municipality, Bulgaria;
■ Region of Western Macedonia, Greece;
■ City of Sabadell, Catalonia, Spain.
The four transformative outlooks present how the RRI-AIRR framework could be integrated into territorial policymaking. Each TO has been elaborated as a result of a long multi-stage, multi-stakeholder co-creation process and includes specific measures for the introduction of the most relevant RRI-AIRR principles in the respective territory. However, since each territory has a specific local context, not only are the four TOs different, but the process of their endorsement has also been conducted in such a way as to address the local ecosystem and the participation of targeted stakeholders and policymakers who really have the needed power and influence to drive the necessary transformation in the respective territory. Therefore, each chapter of the current report presents the process of endorsement that was organised in Thalwil, Sofia, Western Macedonia and Sabadell. By endorsement, the RRI-LEADERS project means a form of a recognition of the Transformative Outlook by the respective territorial governance body and its partial or full integration into the territorial policy agenda. The goal of the endorsement is to influence further institutional changes with respect to the closer procedural integration of the RRI-AIRR concept or individual RRI keys/AIRR dimensions. The endorsements are also an act of directly exploiting the RRI-LEADERS outcomes.
