This policy brief reports on the experiences of research-funding organisations (RFOs) across Europe that participated in ten pilot activities to explore participatory approaches in research and innovation funding processes. It highlights that involvement of citizens and non-traditional stakeholders enriches the research agenda setting and innovation programmes by bringing in diverse perspectives and societal needs. Key insights include: participatory processes are more complex than traditional ones (requiring flexible planning, careful recruitment, managing expectations and roles, and addressing power-relations). Institutional support and capacity-building (training, facilitation, ethical frameworks) are crucial for success.  Concrete examples of pilot cases are given (e.g., a Belgian RFO involving citizens in programme theme-definition; a Norwegian “hub” for citizen participation). The brief concludes with recommendations for RFOs that wish to implement participatory models, emphasising learning-by-doing, resources, governance backing and ethical awareness
