Stickydot is a Brussels-based SME helping research and innovation projects succeed through co-creation, stakeholder engagement and societal readiness checks
Many innovations fail because they don’t connect with society’s needs. We help you avoid that risk. Our societal readiness checks anticipate barriers and opportunities early on, so your project is aligned with public expectations, policy priorities and community values. The result: smoother implementation, fewer setbacks, and stronger legitimacy from the start.
You can’t solve today’s challenges without bringing the right voices around the table. We design engagement processes that connect citizens, policymakers, researchers, companies and civil society, and make their input count. This leads to decisions that are not only better informed, but also easier to implement because stakeholders feel ownership of the outcome.
Good ideas often get lost in poor meetings. We make sure that doesn’t happen. Whether at international conferences or local workshops, we design and facilitate participatory sessions that spark dialogue, uncover common ground and drive action. Our facilitation unlocks collective intelligence, builds trust among partners and turns discussions into concrete results.
Strong processes need skilled people to run them. Our training workshops equip professionals with the practical tools and techniques to design and lead participatory processes. Hands-on and interactive, our sessions build confidence and skills that teams can use right away. By investing in training, you create internal capacity that lasts beyond any single project.
Funders and partners want proof that engagement works. We provide it. Our impact assessments combine qualitative and quantitative methods to show how participatory approaches make a difference – from shaping better policies to improving innovation outcomes. The insights help you learn, demonstrate value, and make a stronger case for future funding.
Winning EU funding is highly competitive. We give you an edge. With years of experience in successful Horizon proposals, we know how to turn ideas into convincing applications that tick all the right boxes. From building strong consortia to drafting impact pathways, we help ensure your project is not only funded but set up for success.
“It is inspiring to contribute to a scientific research environment that remains anchored in the realities and interests of a variety of individuals. Collaborating with the public takes your scientific knowledge off the beaten track and challenges you to take a creative approach to your scientific practice. Go ahead: once you try participatory research, you won’t look back!”
