Quadruple Helix Concept (QHC) as base of the next generation PPP model

The research aims to develop the Quadruple Helix Concept (QHC) based next generation PPP (Public Private Partnership) model -S4P for ensuring the public services or infrastructure more effectively using not only public or business, but also societal (people) and science resources. This model shall improve existing “public private partnership” (3P) approaches and provide proactive actions of involvement of people for ensuring a more efficient and sustainable flows of resources of all involved stakeholders. The circular economy (CE) is an emerging topic with some practices applied in collaboration models, like introduction of deposit systems, resource sharing, where people are equal peers to business and governance. But there is a lack of tools for the adoption of economically and legally feasible 4P frameworks. This requires new paradigms of governance, circular business model innovations (CBMI) and refining perception of the society role in the value creation, proposition and capturing. This project will close this gap by bringing together legal, economic and business management aspects of 3P, CBMI and societal involvement approaches to enable know-how in QHC based collaboration models for transition to the sustainable development.
