GILL

Funded under the Horizon Europe Programme and coordinated by ENoLL, GILL (GA number 10109481) develops a pan-European collaboration and learning hub based on the Living Lab principles to become the open innovation framework for all European actors involved in open gendered innovation. In its 36 months lifespan (2023 – 2025) GILL co-creates sustainable mechanisms to increase gender responsive smart innovation and entrepreneurship (GRSIE) by fixing practices and culture across the European ecosystems. 

The project is implemented through an iterative co-creation approach structured on a four-phases cycle – understand, co-design, implement, evaluate – repeated twice to incorporate the feedback and evaluation results in fine-tuned and validated results. In the context of GILL, 15 Action-Oriented Experimentations operating in 8 European countries are developing new approaches to GRSIE, test, evaluate the changes, and thereby validate GILL’s outputs in real-life open ecosystems. 

Through this cycle, GILL delivers a systemic review of barriers to GRSIE leading to the co-design of proven methodologies, services, and tools for GRSIE to be made available on a sustainable and easy-to-use platform.  

In line with the LL methodology, co-creation and open innovation are fostered among the main actors of the Quadruple Helix model – citizens, government, industry, and academia – who are being engaged all along the project through different participatory activities. 

This project is funded under the Horizon Europe programme, with Grant Agreement number 101094812.
