Research Projects

Euclid Network runs three main reserach projects exploring the role of civil society and its possible contribution to research.

The three projects are:

 CONSIDER: Civil Society Organisations In Designing Research Governance

This is a collaborative project funded within the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) to research the participation of civil society organisations (CSOs) within research. Investigating how CSOs within Euclid Network’s wider network are currently involved in research and how they are able to do this successfully, will allow us to share best practices for the future engagement of CSO practitioners in research in order to produce more representative outcomes. Read more here

Emergence by Design (MD)

This research project, funded under the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7), looks to develop an understanding of how different relationships and actions within a network can be directed towards creating positive social change. This research will assist managers of online networks of innovators to strengthen relationships among their members. Euclid Network will help investigate this in order to strengthen its own community and outcomes. Read more here

The Innovation Society, Sustainability, and ICT (INSITE)

Funded by DG Research, this project focuses on building a·community of scientists and practitioners to develop methods to study the relationship between innovation, sustainability and ICT. Academic researchers will explore how Euclid Network manages its network; by understanding this process, Euclid Network will be able to develop more effective·approaches to participatory policy. Read more here
