Deliverable 1.3 -Vision Catalogue - Encompassing the visions from all 30 countries

This deliverable presents an English translation of the 179 visions elaborated by more than 1000 citizens during the National Citizen Vision Workshops (NCVs), arranged as a part of the CIMULACT project.

The main objective of CIMULACT is to add to the relevance and accountability of the European Research and Innovation (R&I) agenda by engaging citizens and multi-actors in the actual formulation of the European Union’s R&I agenda. The NCVs contributed to this process by engaging citizens in formulating their visions for desirable and sustainable futures.

Over a three month period (November 2015 until January 2016) 30 NCVs were held in 30 European countries (28 EU member states, as well as Switzerland and Norway).  At each NCV 25-42 (36 on average) citizens met for a full day to formulate and debate their visions for a desirable and sustainable future.

The visions represent the final product of the NCVs and are the result of a comprehensive and intensive vision building process in each of the participating countries. The visions were originally formulated in the citizens’ national language, but for simplicity all visions have been translated into English. The original visions and national reports from each NCV are to be found elsewhere (Deliverable 1.2 - Collection of national reports on the citizens’ future visions).

The present deliverable documents the European citizens’ wishes, needs and demands for a desirable future. The visions enable dialogue between the citizens and the European policy- and decision makers, hereby enhancing Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) in the European Union.

CIMULACT is a three-year project funded by the Horizon 2020 Framework Program of the European Union. The project was kicked-off in June 2015
