Bridging the Gap between Research and Practice

The participants in this process aim to establish a network of diverse stakeholders, including CHIs, corporates, citizens, creative industries, policy makers, and communities, to participate in the co-creation, testing, and validation of RECHARGE Models through Living Labs. Living Labs will contribute to research and data collection through their co-creation of the RECHARGE Models, setting up CH Living Labs, running CH Living Labs, and analysis of the prototypes. CH Living Labs will prototype and test selected models and manage the tender process for the creation of six additional Living Labs at the beginning of 2024. Finally, participants in this process will monitor the implementation of the RECHARGE Models and analyze the collected data. In general, this space will facilitate the collaborative development and refinement of the RECHARGE Models with the aim of creating new participatory business models for cultural heritage innovation.
