ABOUT RECODE MLG
The project
About
RECODE MLG brings together leading experts on MLG, sustainability politics, digitalisation, co-creation, democratic theory and deliberative innovation with civil society, industry stakeholders and policymaking representatives
It assesses governance structures at three critical sites of twin transition and designs and implements four co-creation labs in order to advance state-of-the-art and produce policy recommendations and a practical ‘tool-kit’ to support inclusive policymaking on twin transition in MLG
THREE CONNECTED THEMES
Understanding change, together
Co-creation
How citizens, researchers and policymakers work together to shape policy.
Multilevel governance
How policy connects across local, regional, national and European levels.
Twin transition
How the green and digital transitions interact, and what this means for governance.
Objectives
The overarching goal of RECODE MLG is to promote a just, inclusive and democratic twin transition, by advancing actionable knowledge of co-creation to help policymakers at all levels develop and implement effective, legitimate and better informed policy within the MLG system of the EU.
By bringing together the very latest research on these two concepts, and experimenting with co-creation labs, our project will construct a conceptual model of MLG-co-creation that goes beyond the state-of-the-art and which will provide a practical co-creation manual along with specific and scientifically tested policy recommendations and a documentary film to guide the participation of citizens and stakeholders to move towards climate neutral digitalized societies.
RECODE MLG will achieve its overarching goal by means of three specific objectives:
01
ASSESSMENT
of the MLG of the twin transition by examining six cases at critical sites to generate scientific and practical insights
02
INNOVATION
of scientific models and practice of co-creation through four ‘co-creation labs’ to identify pathways and challenges for MLG co-creation
03
GENERATION
of a set of policy recommendations, a practical co-creation manual and a documentary film, (translated into relevant languages) to support legitimate and effective governance of a just, inclusive and democratic twin transition
