Digital Agenda for the North Sea: Orientation towards New Innovation

The project

The DANS ON project aimed to disseminate the DANS model, which stimulates innovation in the North Sea region, with demonstrating its application and implementation in practice. The DANS model is a Quadruple Helix model that is especially suitable to innovation processes where citizens’ needs are central.

The partnership communicated the story of the DANS model through a range of media channels and showed how regions in the North Sea region can adapt the model to increase society’s capacity for innovation. DANS ON consisted of partners from Sweden, Germany, Norway, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands
