Abstract

In this paper I present the paradigm shift occurred in recent years in the approach to technology development within the European Commission funded Research and Innovation frameworks. This new approach is attentive to social good, societal challenges and bottom-up users and stakeholders, but presents at the same time some limitations. By leveraging Sigma Orionis longstanding experience in European funded projects and highlighting the current trends, challenges and best practices, I identify some avenues for making this approach even more impactful in the coming years.
