Some conclusions: building the framework
Policy: innovation must support policy objectives / policy should not close the door to innovations
Planning: creating the framework for the succesful implementation of innovative solutions
Integration: no new solutions can be isolated
Consultation: engaging the citizens is a key to success when the path is leading towards changing behaviours
