In order address these challenges it essential adopt an interdisciplinary stakeholder-engaged approach research innovation. current study, we describe contextualist collaboration platform context EU innovation project, focused on enhancing between citizens administrators through data.

Stakeholders across five pilot sites identified barriers accessing, understanding, using data, options overcome three broad categories: organisational issues; technical, resource training engagement issues. also expressed variety user needs domains: information needs; social-collaborative understandability, usability, decision-making needs.
