Action plans on the co-creation process: A theoretical and methodological framework

This report is part of deliverable 4.1 of the H2020 UPLIFT project. It outlines the theoretical and methodological principles of the process of reflexive policy-making that will take place in four UPLIFT implementation sites. In the first part of this report (chapters 2 and 3), these principles are outlined in more detail. After that, a brief synthesis of the four draft local action plans for the co-creation process is provided (chapter 4). We finish this report with a brief conclusion, as well as with a peek into the future of the work project (chapter 5). It is important to realize that both the local action plans and the theoretical and methodological framework are work in progress. We see reflexive policy making as a dynamic and iterative process that requires constant stakeholder consultation, outcome monitoring and outcome evaluation. At the moment of writing, we are only at the very beginning of this process. Therefore, we see this report as a living document that will be regularly updated, adapted and extended in the course of time.
