An indication of the steps in the co-innovation research process, adapted from Boyce et al., 2016 Processes to share the results and implement the findings are required during, and at the end of, the research. This should include the shared development of an evaluation framework, and ways for the research team to learn and adapt the research as it proceeds.

Once the issues and outcomes of the research are designed, the next stage (co-develop) is to develop the details of the research process. The first stage (co-design) includes the design of the research issues and outcomes with partners and stakeholders. One way to think about co-innovation is as a research approach which emphasises working with others at each stage of the research process (see figure below). These include policy makers, industry, community members, first nations representatives and others who are involved in the research as partners and stakeholders. Such challenges have no obvious cause and effect relationships, as well as many different players with a stake in the research problem and solution. Co-innovation is most suited to hard-to-solve technical, social, cultural and economic challenges. Our experience has been applying co-innovation as a research approach to address complex problems in an agricultural context, however, the principles apply well beyond agriculture.

What is co-innovation and how can it be applied in practice in a research project?Ĭo-innovation is the process of jointly developing new or different solutions to a complex problem through multi-participant research processes – and keeping these processes alive throughout the research.
