SONNETS’ aims at renovating the way the public sector operates by suggesting a concrete set of actions that will place the public sector in the front line of tackling societal challenges, armoured with the right ammunition and with the right people that could take over the necessary tasks and activities.
SONNETS’s concept for delivering its roadmap is based on the following major sub-concepts, which are all closely related and can be witnessed as a quadruple helix:
- Needs Identification through evidence-based research approaches and methods
- Innovations Identification and Gap Analysis
- Impact generation through Community Building and Intense Networking
- Innovation Transfer through best practice identification in multidisciplinary areas and impact assessment
SONNETS will provide an innovative methodological framework for public sector organisations and related stakeholders to accelerate their transformation processes. SONNETS will set the way for the identification, analysis and take-up of emerging technologies that hold the potential infuse real value to public services managing the exponentially increasing “born digital” data and facilitating end-to-end security and privacy.
