The JRC Makers-in-Residence programme is a short-term research-focused residency for makers, launched at the Joint Research Centre's Makerspace. It is centred on specific concepts and themes directly tied to the science and technology policy topics considered in the JRC Annual Work Programme. Each year a new theme is proposed. The programme promotes capacity building, fosters partnerships with local, regional, national, and international makers, and improves the open knowledge around the residency selected topics.
The programme represents an opportunity for makers’ to tackle matters of common concern relevant for European policies. It creates spaces of dialogue and co-creation between EU makers and JRC scientific staff and promotes a new way of collaborating with bottom-up ideas, integrating them as support for citizen engagement practices into the policymaker cycle.
This report, based on the final reports and prototypes of the five selected European makers, attempts to present their creative work and to draw some lessons from this experience for internal use in the citizen engagement processes, as well as for future work with policy DGs.
