About I3X-20?
This I3X challenge provides a collaborative space for research and innovation that advances understanding of Resilience, Restoration and Regeneration (R3).
The focus is on creating new knowledge and approaches around the competencies, capabilities, mechanisms and enablers needed to support transitions towards climate-positive futures.
Through cross-disciplinary and cross-sectoral collaboration in SMAR3TS, you can explore emerging research areas, that are relevant to the project, address conceptual, empirical and methodological challenges, and develop approaches that strengthen the foundations of R3 applicable to different contexts.
What are the desired outcomes of I3X-19?
These may include new empirical, conceptual or methodological insights, frameworks, practices and tools connected to R3, joint academic publications, collaborative research proposals, and new projects.
Where relevant, activities may also contribute to the development of R3 Framework (WP1) in SMAR3TS that can be applied to Work Packages (WP 2-5).
Key goals include building new skills, developing collaborations, facilitating knowledge transfer, and advancing research and innovation around R3 to drive lasting change.
What skills and capabilities would be beneficial for I3X-20?
The I3X takes a broad and inclusive approach, bringing together researchers and innovators from across the SMAR3TS consortium with diverse disciplinary, sectoral and professional backgrounds and at different career stages.
Relevant expertise may include knowledge and skills in one or several of the following areas, e.g.: sustainability transitions, resilience, restoration, regeneration, systems thinking, organizational and dynamic capabilities, innovation, digital technologies, futures and foresight, policy and governance, behavioral and social sciences, qualitative, quantitative or mixed research methods.
Perspective research and innovation activities conducted as part of a secondment could address challenges such as e.g: I3X-20?

I3X-20 Alignment to R3 - Resilience, Restoration, Regeneration
Resilience
Strengthening capacities of people, organizations and systems to anticipate, adapt and respond to changes and disruptions.
Restoration
Developing knowledge, capabilities and mechanisms that support the recovery and improvement of social, environmental and economic systems.
Regeneration
Exploring how individuals, organizations and systems can move beyond recovery towards renewal, transformation and the creation of lasting positive environmental and societal value.
