This report is part of the ‘Stretch-Out Phase’ of ILUCIDARE aimed at growing the network by fostering co-creation among the consortium, Advisory Board and stakeholders to increase impact of, and advance understanding of heritage-led innovations and diplomacy.
To achieve this, two sets of Focus Groups and Co-Creation Ateliers were organised with regional and national experts: a first set in Kraków, Poland (June 10-11, 2019) with experts from Central and South-East Europe, and a second set in Brussels, Belgium (November 19, 2019) with experts from West, North and South Europe.
Through carefully designed co-creation processes, both sets of events contributed to collecting inputs and filling the knowledge gaps related to topics, trends, barriers and user- preferences related to heritage-led innovation and diplomacy in Europe, both on the research and practice levels. Discussions during the meetings constituted unique opportunities to share the progress of the ILUCIDARE project and review its results with external experts, shedding new light and inspiring new ideas to be implemented during the next phases of the project.
