How to shape CS communication, collaboration or co-creation in a fair and feasible manner? How to identify needs, mobilise knowledge and capacities of stakeholders to create insight and action on the issue-at-stake in a way that also serves the interest of marginalized? What type of monitoring & evaluation approaches help us to know the intended and unintended impact of our activities, to learn and adapt our research and innovation activities for an improved societal impact?
