This deliverable outlines the lessons learned from the offline deliberative process conducted in Lombardy in the framework of the EU H2020 TRANSFORM project, which took place in Lombardy (in Milan) in June 2022 in the shape ȶljŔ-ǫʋǫ˖ơȥɽࢬ Jury. The activities were coordinated, designed, and conducted by Giannino Bassetti Foundation, in dialogue with Lombardy Region, Directorate of Education, Universities, Research, Innovation and Simplification, and Finlombarda (the three organizations constituting the TRANSFORM Lombardy cluster). The document aims at sharing the key understandings from this participatory experience that could be useful for policy makers and other interested actors willing to embark on citizen engagement actions based on deliberative methods for the design of research and innovation policies so as to be more aligned with citizens' needs and expectations.
