texts | The Ludwig Boltzmann Gesellschaft (LBG), a non-profit research organisation, addresses complex social challenges together with partners, by developing and testing novel forms of cooperation between science and non-scientific actors in a dynamic social environment. In this way, the LBG aims to develop economic and social solutions that positively support social change and can be used directly by civil society, politics and the private sector. LBG’s “Research and Innovation Policy” emphasises the targeted and coordinated transgression of the boundaries of organisations, disciplines and systems (Open Innovation in Science) aiming to improve the societal impact of research. Thus, novel forms of
engagement increase the opportunity to generate innovative problemsolving approaches.
In this case study, the “Village project”, we investigate different measures aiming to drive evidence-based change, towards making a sustainable impact for children that have a parent with a mental illness. First, we introduce an innovative approach to engage the public in generating societal relevant research questions and establishing international and interdisciplinary “Research Groups” on mental health of children and adolescents. Second, we introduce educational programmes for researchers and adolescents to enrich research with meaningful youth engagement and transfer knowledge among different stakeholders and people with lived experience. Last, we focus on community engagement, awareness raising for mental health and working together with people with lived experience as game changers in advocating for informed decision-making on a community and policy level. |
