Where (according to your experience) do R&I projects have often
deficits with regards to the
mode/frame to integrate FNSSA
actors into research and innovation projects (Actors: e.g. other
researchers, private sector, producers, GOs, NGOs,
communicators)?
1.
Mainly within individual research projects
2.
Mainly within Knowledge management scheme of the IRC
