Aim

The research aims to develop the Quadruple Helix Concept (QHC)-based next generation PPP (Public Private Partnership) model -S4P for ensuring more effective public services or infrastructure using not only public- or business resources, but also societal (people) and science resources. This model shall improve on existing “public private partnership” (3P) approaches and provide proactive actions of involving people to ensure a more efficient and sustainable flow of resources for all involved stakeholders.

Description

Circular economy is an emerging topic with some practices being applied to collaboration models, like the introduction of deposit systems and resource sharing where people are equal peers to business and governance. But there is a lack of tools to adopt economically and legally feasible 4P frameworks. This requires new paradigms of governance, circular business model innovations (CBMI) and refining the perception of society's role in value creation, proposition and capturing. This project will close this gap by bringing together legal, economic and business management aspects of 3P, CBMI and societal involvement approaches to enable know-how in QHC based collaboration models for transition to the sustainable development.
