ASIRPA Real Time and the co construction of impact in place-based contexts

MOSAIC (Horizon 2020) [2023–2024]

This European project, focused on mission‑oriented co‑creation in cities, mobilised ASIRPA Real‑Time to support several co‑creation processes in two European cities. The co‑creation teams (including quadruple helix actors) were supported in anticipating the potential impacts of their implementation and in building an impact pathway consistent with the identified urban challenges.

ACROPICS [2024–…]

The ACROPICS project puts co‑innovation at the heart of the development of Sustainable Agroecological Systems (SAS). These systems constitute protected innovation spaces, anchored in territories and organised around local food chains. In this multi‑actor context, the ASIRPA Real‑Time method supports SAS members in building a shared vision of their future and in identifying the trajectories to reach that future. The approach has been implemented in several countries, notably India and Argentina. A PhD thesis is currently being written on the Argentine case. 

Agroecology Partnership [2026–2033]

Within this European partnership, the ASIRPA team leads a sub‑task dedicated to real‑time formative evaluation. The objective is to support funded projects in the co‑construction and iterative process of their impact pathways and "transformative action plans". The approach is based on cycles of workshops integrated into the projects, enabling: anticipating trajectories towards desired agroecological futures; identifying early levers, obstacles and opportunities; and strengthening alignment with the principles of agroecology.

PEPR BRIDGES [2024–2034]

The approach is mobilised at two nested levels:

• At the programme level: Co‑construction of a shared vision of a sustainable future for the socio‑ecological systems of the South‑West Indian Ocean (SWIO), taking into account the diversity of local contexts and specific needs.
• At the socio‑ecological systems (SES) level: Support for local actors in developing a sustainable development strategy for marine systems and an action plan for its implementation. The field sites are in the Comoros, Mayotte, La Réunion and Mozambique.

ALTERFI [2025]

At the end of the project, a prospective exercise was undertaken to prepare future research initiatives based on non‑invasive experimentation. The ASIRPA Real‑Time approach supported researchers in the co‑construction of a strategic research agenda on ruminant nutrition and feeding without invasive animal experimentation, by making explicit desired futures and the conditions necessary to achieve them.
