This report is the final version of CASI-F: A Common Framework for Assessment and Management of Sustainable Innovation. The framework was informed by a number of preceding tasks and includes inputs from seminars and workshops with a wide range of societal stakeholders, as well as recommendations and feedback gathered from innovators during the mapping of sustainable innovation (SI) initiatives and piloting of CASI-F implementation. The testimonies of stakeholders are therefore presented within the report, in order to further validate the versatility, usefulness and effectiveness of CASI-F, as perceived by its users. The report presents the core of the CASI-F methodology, consisting of five mutually reinforcing sets of protocols and tools (or steps) that constitute the framework, namely: (Step 1) sustainability relevance and scanning; (Step 2) multi-criteria analysis and assessment; (Step 3) critical issue analysis and assessment; (Step 4) multi-level advice management; and (Step 5) action roadmaps management. Although the report marks the final contractual stop of the CASI-F journey, it also highlights the way forward and the potential for a new sustainability assessment and management framework (CASI-F) to thrive beyond the life of the project. Moreover, to further advance the uptake of CASI-F in Europe and the world, a free online training course on ‘Sustainable Innovation Assessment and Management: Widening Horizons on climate action, environment, resource e ciency and raw materials’ was developed by the authors to promote mobilisation and mutual learning in sustainable innovation and related topics. The course is available at http://www.futuresdiamond.com/casi2020/tutorial/

Categories:	Strategic intelligence and citizens’ participation, Eco-innovation and green economy transition, Climate change adaptation solutions, Climate action eco-innovation policies

Sustainable innovation forms the basis for the new solutions of and opportunities for the future although it has not yet achieved an established programmatic policy position. The CASI project has developed a set of tools, which can strengthen the development of sustainable innovation policy. This set of tools includes a data bank, a citizen engagement methodology, citizen agendas and a framework for sustainable innovation. This policy brief reviews and showcases how these SI tools can be used when strengthening sustainable innovation policy. In Germany, the identified policy need is to support the creation of new forms of dialogue and joint solution development between different stakeholder groups or political levels and the involvement and empowerment of civil society and citizens.

This policy brief reviews and showcases how these SI tools can be used when strengthening sustainable innovation policy. In Portugal, the identified policy need relates to suitable communication approaches that promote citizen engagement on activities focused on the promotion of sustainable innovation with large coverage and that reach out to citizens at large. The citizen engagement methodology promoted by CASI, especially by the CASI-F framework may provide key guidance throughout the process of reaching out the target audience and communicating to them in an attractive manner.
