Important results from the project

** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** Projektet Early Responders Innovation Arena was carried out in aim to establish an arena - a real world test bed- where society´s actors under realistic, safe and methodologically robust conditions can work together with solutions, methods and products to achieve the maturity and accuracy required to be able to be used sharply in the field of civil protection and emergency preparedness. The goal was that the real world test bed would also be a tool for making proven experience visible, generating required evaluations and proof of concept.

Expected long term effects

** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** The real worls testbed has acquired a language and experiences that enables new collaborations for both the authority and the actors it is to support. Through the project, knowledge about test beds has also increased in the sector, not least as the project has provided empirical evidence for research on innovation dialogue as a method and thus contributed to new knowledge in the field even outside its own aim. The project has thus contributed to expected effects at both operational and organizational and system level.

Approach and implementation

The project was carried out with established concept development methodology with tests and trials as a basis for the knowledge required to establish the concept, Real World Testbed, in the way it could be operationalized within MSB. The main challenge in establishing an innovation mechanism WITHIN the authority turned out to be differences in planning and set-up times between innovation and management - both actual and the view of these. The project experiences that both long and short processes are needed for development and innovation to take place and sees the Real World Testbed as a bridge between these.
