Reporting on Bratislava Social Innovation Think Tank (SITT) workshop "Shaping social innovation for marginalized rural areas"
The first workshop of the Social Innovation Think Tank (SITT) on 26-28th October, 2016 in Bratislava (Slovakia) brought together core project partners with the Scientific Advisory and Stakeholder Involvement Boards of SIMRA and discussed multi-faceted and complex challenges that our rural areas face. Common difficulties, such as transport, housing, ageing population, connectivity and regulations link up with global issues of climate change, sustainability, and energy and food security, that calling for immediate solutions, were considered in several rounds of stakeholder consultations. By engaging with stakeholders since the very beginning of project scientists wish to create a transparent and open-ended approach to problem framing. The workshop is therefore considered as an important starting point of the co-construction of SIMRA knowledge with stakeholders. Thanks to the intense three months’ preparation of the stakeholder consultations´ content organised under the Task 2.3 of WP2 and supervised by Tatiana Kluvankova (IFE SAS), project coordinator Maria Nijnik and David Miller (JAMES HUTTON) and thanks to the active work and communication with the most of WP leaders through several skype meetings, workshop achieved the expected and planned results. However, it would not have been possible without active engagement of SITT members from the very beginning of the preparation period. SITT members were suggested by project partners and cordially invited by project coordinator Maria Nijnik to attend this event as well as to contribute to the project delivery. From 35 stakeholders addressed by sending invitation letter through email 20 came to the first workshop. To open the fruitful debate with SITT members about their perception and understanding of social innovations at the first meeting, Veronika Gezik (IFE SAS) conducted a short introductory survey through survey monkey (online research survey tool) from June to September 2016. Questions and detailed responses of the survey can be found in annex B. Smooth running of the workshop was ensured thanks to Stanislava Brnkalakova (IFE SAS) and the team of PhD students and other colleagues from SPECTRA – Centre excellence– joint research centre of the Institute of Forest Ecology Slovak Academy of Sciences, Slovak University of Technology and Comenius University who served as local host of the event.
