Social innovation labs are the latest vehicles for systemic change – for disrupting the way our cities, our schools, our welfare programs, even our economic systems run. But how do they really work? It is time to get beyond the hype and properly probe into the practices and underlying theories of social innovation laboratories. To make our assumptions explicit about how labs prompt systemic change. To critique its logic. To ultimately learn how labs could lead to better functioning systems. Which enable people to live ‘better’ lives, both now and in the future.
To make a first step in this learning curve, Kennisland and Hivos (with the support of the SIX network) hosted Lab2: a two-day lab on social innovation labs from the Americas, Europe, Africa, Oceania and Asia. This presentation shares the outcomes and ideas on how to move forward.
Presentation delivered at the Cultural Leadership Forum in Taipei on December 1st 2018. It deals with cultural leadership issues based on my experience at DesignLab, Waag Society, V2_ and Tetem.
DesignLab is a creative and cross-disciplinary ecosystem, connecting science and society by way of creative intelligence and transdisciplinary innovation. It fosters an entrepreneurial mind-set; contributes to educate global citizens of tomorrow, focuses on societal challenges and forges new and effective collaborations. Faculty and students from various academic fields work together with companies and governments to implement and develop scientific and technological insights that can be used in finding and shaping creative, innovative and meaningful solutions for complex societal challenges. Positioned deliberately at the cross-roads of design (thinking), technology, science and humanities, it both bridges and transcends traditional ways of innovation.

Aliki Giannakopoulou talks about responsoble research and innovation (RRI)
Responsible Research & Innovation (RRI) is a way of researching that takes a long-term perspective on the type of world in which we want to live. It can strengthen research projects by emphasising openness, transparency, diversity, inclusiveness and adaptation to changes. Essentially, RRI aims to create collaborative frameworks in which citizens engage with scientists, entrepreneurs, decisions makers and other groups to work towards sustainable, ethically acceptable and socially desirable outcomes.

Feed Forward Stories: towards open research and policy making for better publ...Kennisland
Feed Forward Stories: connecting research, policy and practice
The boy who got lost in debts and piles of papers while lacking a postal address to start his debt cancellation procedure, and thus his new life. The policy maker who has good connections but lacks the numbers and stories to take grounded action. The youth professional who bounces back and forth between providing what the boy needs, and what the bureaucratic rules and laws of civic administrator offices ask. The academic who wants to provide meaningful insights but is stuck with an academic ‘publish or perish’ system. All of these people live in one city, but their stories are disconnected. However they all want the same: better lives for citizens. Feed Forward Stories is an inclusive research methodology that connects stories of citizens and stories of people operating in systems (ie. schools, social and public services, municipality) to start new actions. In this talk Marlieke Kieboom (Kennisland) introduces the vision, the work principles and the methodology behind Feed Forward Stories.
Hoe werkt de methode Feed Forward Stories voor onderzoek doen en beleidmaken voor maatschappelijke vraagstukken? Op 1 oktober presenteerde Kennisland de tussentijdse resultaten van jongLAB: een social lab om leef- en systeemwereld rond jongeren in Nijmegen dichterbij elkaar te brengen.

Hivos and Kennisland co-operate in organizing the Wicked Series. In this series the objective is to learn more about the complex dynamics of wicked problems by generating new insights derived from innovatives strategies and approaches that are currently deployed and experimented with in the context of wicked problems.
The Wicked Notes are a direct knowledge product of the Wicked Series and reflect on the ideas and findings generated by the members of this new network during the series.
The Wicked Notes will eventually be part of a Wicked Publication, co-created by Hivos, Kennisland and the Wicked-members to share insights and ideas on the dynamics of wicked problems.

Op donderdag 1 november gaven KL'ers Nikki Timmermans en Paul Keller een workshop open data op de netwerkdag van het netwerk Oorlogsbronnen http://www.oorlogsbronnen.nl/agenda/netwerkdag, georganiseerd door het NIOD Instituut voor Oorlogs-, Holocast- en Genocidestudies in de Openbare Bibliotheek in Amsterdam.
Het Netwerk Oorlogsbronnen heeft als doel het gebruik van Tweede Wereldoorlog-collecties in Nederland te stimuleren. Tijdens de netwerkdag werd de vernieuwde portal http://www.oorlogsbronnen.nl/ gelanceerd. Via één digitale zoekingang biedt het Netwerk toegang aan professionele onderzoekers en het brede publiek tot de aangesloten collecties.
Met het oog op de toekomst schetsten Timmermans en Keller mogelijkheden en onmogelijkheden voor het vrij beschikbaar stellen en uitwisselen van data en gingen zij in gesprek met de deelnemers.
