Two different rationales underpin the work behind the present policy report. The first relates to the necessity of obtaining a critical perspective that can challenge the consistency and usefulness of CASI-F, namely the framework developed during the CASI project to assess and manage sustainable innovation. The second objective is to conceive and propose a set of messages that can drive policy action in the short term towards more efficient sustainable innovation-oriented governance. The sections included in this chapter represent a logical and hierarchical sequence that proceeds from a brief introduction of the CASI project, to the description of the Policy Watch activity (of which this policy report is a key part), and finally to the description of the report's objectives and structure. ; Non peer reviewed

Grounded in theoretical assumptions on evidence-based policy-making and participatory advice research, this chapter presents a critical reflection on and discussion of different advisory activities carried out in the CASI project, namely the assessment of sustainable innovation initiatives, policy developments and citizens' visions. ; Non peer reviewed

This chapter takes into consideration two distinct processes utilised in CASI to develop new sets of sustainable research and innovation (R&I) agendas. The first process is based on European sustainable innovators' objectives, as gathered and analysed from more than 500 SI initiatives mapped in CASIPEDIA and led by the quadruple helix of SI stakeholders. The second draws on citizens' preferences, as identified in two rounds (citizens-experts-citizens) of participatory workshops carried out in 12 European countries. Some mismatches are identified and the chapter reveals that gaps exist between what is currently taking place in research and innovation, and what citizens wish for. Furthermore, the analysis demonstrates the potential of cross-disciplinary approaches to make cross-comparisons of data from multiple and diverse sources. ; Non peer reviewed
