This project is part of the Centre for Research on Civil Society and Voluntary Sector.
Co-production through partnerships and collaboration with citizens, public sector and the civil society is on the political and administrative agenda and a research topic in the Nordic Countries. The Nordic case represents an interesting and unique arena for studying co-production due to its history, its democracy and forms of governance and civic collaboration - in which we both see potentials but also restrains and problematic dimensions.
- Workshop I: Mapping coproduction in the Nordic countries in transformation: theoretical and empirical features
Objectives: to conduct a collaborative mapping of the Nordic landscape of co-production from a theoretical, empirical and practice perspective.
Outcome: Special issue or an edited book on Coproduction in the Nordic Welfare Services to be published - Workshop 2: Methods, methodology and paradigms in coproduction in the Nordics
Objectives: to identify and qualify the methods, methodologies and paradigms in research by mapping applied methods and innovative approaches.
Outcome: a number of papers and drafts delivering the results that can inform and qualify workshop 3 - Workshop 3: Preparing a Nordic or European Research application on Coproduction in Nordic and European Welfare Services
Objectives: to prepare a collaborative research proposal in the field of co-production applying a range of innovative methods.
Outcome: developing an application for a Nordic Research Program or an EU funded program
