  7. Conception and dissemination of methods and tools of territorial intelligence accessible for the territorial actors and respectful of a sustainable development ethics (WP6)

The main objective is to perform a joint deliberation by all partners about their research practices considering a comparative analysis among them. Basis for common reflection would be essential issues in terms of territorial intelligence development:

  1. Relationship among governance approaches and the application of territorial sustainable development principles (complete approach, partnership and participation). Impacts, potentialities, risks and limiting elements of those principles implementation will be addressed.
  2. Ethical principles and conditions to be respected within the social and human sciences research processes and by the technical tools in order to efficiently contribute to the generation of territorial sustainable development dynamics, through their impacts on governance improvement at all levels.
  3. Contribution of tools based on information and new communication technologies to governance principles development: information “mutualisation”, data processing in a cooperative way, data and analysis results dissemination on a large scale.

WP5 is focused on identifying and disseminating best practices inspiring territorial governance within scientific production (theoretical approaches, technical tools design, and information gathering processes). On the other hand, WP5 aims at establishing a set of rules or standards to be fulfilled by this specific type of research. It should be the framework for establishing protocols boosting quality in cooperative research.
