“…The external RRI aims at grouping members of local communities, regulatory and governmental institutions, and any other stakeholder interested in the research topics. We strongly believe that these interactions will create a trading zone of knowledge exchange between experts and civil society members (The trading zone concept [47] is often used in the field of planning and decision making studies to describe local platforms and support systems for participation in public policy, knowledge production, decision making, and local conflict management and community action: "through specific community engagement policies, depending on the proper representation of needs and social demand, or as a way to enable engagement of weak community groups" [27]) as previously advocated by several authors [26,48,49].…”

“…Although the adoption of multidisciplinary research strategies has largely been encouraged in those public EU research programs dealing with food (i.e., [21]), only a few projects related to the "food and health" topic were developed under a multidisciplinary view, as suggested in the EU-FAHRE program [22]. Moreover, several scholars have noticed how the adoption of measures to promote open innovation processes between multidisciplinary agri-food research consortia and the engagement of SMEs, civil society organizations, and local community groups is still fragmented (i.e., [23][24][25][26][27]).…”

The need to develop experimental tools for a responsible research and innovation (RRI) framework is relevant for managing research agendas and policy making that seriously take into account the complex conditions of innovation development (linked to multidisciplinarity and interaction processes) between the researchers and their fieldwork activities. The adoption of an RRI framework is even more important for multidisciplinary and complex issues, such as the agri-food system. In this context, the SASS (Sustainable Agri-food Systems for Sustainable Development (SASS) project represents a good example for verifying the application of the RRI strategy in a varied research group committed to the development of sustainable agri-food systems in Sub-Saharan Africa. The project, which involves more than 50 researchers from different fields of knowledge and theoretical backgrounds, showed the importance of the processes of reflection, re-driving, and convergence in the definition of research objectives and strategies. This process started by experimenting with new dedicated RRI tools in order to allow interactions between the researchers, including exchanging their experience in data collection and theoretical reflection development. With respect to this analysis, it was interesting to analyze how the RRI tools and strategies have been activated between researchers and different stakeholders, generating reflections capable of re-adapting the results towards shared and accessible innovation for the extended society. Following the discussion based on the description of the SASS-RRI agenda tools and following an internal verification given from an RRI-based web survey, this contribution provides new insights, in terms of tools and strategies, to promote and refine RRI approaches. This work underlines how RRI methods have promoted internal and external interactions to connect the research objectives towards a model of open innovation.

“…Using interviews and archival evidence, the study examines the development of a 13-year-long CSSP comprising small-medium enterprises and a community of selforganized informal groups-known as Solidarity Purchasing Groups (SPGs; Forno et al, 2015;Signori & Forno, 2019)-collectively addressing the problem of introducing Solidarity Economy principles, and specifically fair trade and organic production, within their supply chain. As such, the partnership's shared purpose (Adler & Heckscher, 2018) deals with a complex social and environmental issue that is intractable for each single organization and calls for establishing an inclusive partnership (Waddock, 1988) to collectively address the socioenvironmental issue across organizations, based on collaboration and collective participation (Tricarico et al 2018), as typically done by CSSPs (Clarke & Crane, 2018).…”

Communities, intended as self-organized informal groups, are much less structured than nonprofit organizations typically considered by Cross-Sector Social Partnership (CSSP) studies. Building on the empirical investigation of a real CSSP, this article offers an in-depth analysis of the ambivalent dynamics implied by partnership with such communities. Our findings indicate that the mechanisms that create room for innovative collaboration opportunities made available by these communities (such as co-innovation, pricing co-determination, co-financing, and democratic decision making) can also, over time, adversely affect the partnership and cause it to permanently lose its shared purpose. In our conclusion, we provide potential remedies for the latter scenario and discuss how they may enrich CSSP literature.

L'innovazione sociale nelle politiche urbane. Un caso studio nel contesto italiano

Il contributo analizza i caratteri di una politica urbana che applica e incorpora concetti e approcci tipici dell'innovazione sociale. Con questo obiettivo, esamina un caso studio, ‘Un acceleratore per l'economia di territorio', promosso dal comune di Milano con una serie di partner locali e inserito nel framework governativo del Fondo per l'innovazione sociale (fis). Il progetto per la creazione di ‘economie di prossimità' sarà realizzato combinando strumenti finanziari a impatto sociale e percorsi di accelerazione per lavoro e impresa nelle aree periferiche. L'ipotesi che si vuole qui verificare è se l'innovazione sociale possa essere non solo il contenuto, ma anche il metodo di una politica place-based di sviluppo territoriale: acquisendo conoscenza dispersa, innescando processi di intelligenza collettiva nella ridefinizione dei bisogni sociali e proponendo soluzioni condivise dall'interesse di più attori.
