Collaborative relationships in RDI activities: A framework for co-creation as a form of collective learning in complexity
Building a collaborative relationship in RDI practice is an enigma that researchers have approached through multiple pathways within the “co-” landscape. In this article, we focus our attention on co-curiosity and co-agency as concepts that illuminate how reciprocal collaboration is enacted in practice and what it concretely and philosophically entails. We consider whether integrating these two perspectives could give rise to a new framework for co-creation, one capable of addressing complex phenomena and fostering lifelong collective learning and sustainable wellbeing.
