INVITE: User needs and requirements

This data was collected during the qualitative interview-based survey that was conducted in the framework of INVITE, which aimed at revealing the needs and requirements of prospective users and stakeholders of the OI2 Lab. In particular, a stratified purposeful sampling methodology was employed in order to include diverse OI stakeholders of the quadruple helix (i.e. from businesses and investors in the private sector over to academia and public authorities as well as civil society) and across different regions in Europe. Data in the form of interview transcripts was collected by means of semi-structured interviews and encompass information on the different ways in which OI actors are currently engaged (or not) in OI, various enablers / barriers that appear to be fostering / hindering their participation in OI as well as insights into the perceived knowledge, skills and support that they may need in order to successfully adopt and apply OI.
