APRE is a non-profit association created in 1989 as a joint initiative of the Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research (MIUR) and a number of public and private bodies to meet the demand for information on European research programmes. Its mission is to support and promote participation in the EU Research and Innovation (R&I) programmes by providing information, training and assistance services. Thematic experts, project managers, policy officers, professionals in stakeholder engagement, co-creation and Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI), work together to offer services and co-design activities to all actors of the R&I system.
In FORGING, APRE brings its expertise in co-creation and RRI, guiding the co-creation process from analysis of co-creation success factors to a full-fledged co-creation action that gathers insights and feedback on responsible and sustainable technologies.
