The Open Innovation committee will follow the program from start to finish. Choose your committee members and schedule them easily using the platform.
Follow the platform’s recommendations to define your problem from a critical, technical and societal framing.
2. Manage your call for applications
The SoScience Collaborative Open Innovation platform makes it easy to manage a call for application in a limited time (< 3 months).
Use the platform’s built-in editor to build an appealing web page inviting experts to apply to your challenge.
Communicating with startups, researchers, NGOs or large groups requires a language adapted to each one. The platform lets you automate personalized email sequences.
Send invitation-to-apply email campaigns, and track the progress of applications easily with the relevant statistics.
Each committee member can give his or her opinion on the applications. Classify the candidates by category and jointly decide on the most interesting selection to ensure the perfect match.
3. Organize your co-design meetup day
Our Open Innovation platform helps you optimize exchanges between the diverse experts contributing to your innovation project.
Each candidate can exchange ideas for collaborative projects with the other selected experts in order to maximize the possibilities.
Expertise, key ideas, needs and contributions are available for each expert.
Based on the wall of collaborations and the co-creation workshop’s facilitation tips and other tools, let the gathered experts dig as deep as possible into the most promising ideas.
Exchanges of ideas, knowledge and expertise must take place in the confidence of a confidentiality agreement. Use the platform to automate NDA management.
4. Select the best collaborative projects
Manage different axes of selection, including sustainability goals & other responsible criterias.
Committee members vote for each project according to a grid of technical, business, environmental and social criteria.
