This paper analyses the youth-led and youth-centred practices of Science Gallery Dublin and the LoCY—Lab of Collaborative Youth, Porto. The authors consider the application of educational programmes through co-creation and co-design may be relevant for informing and supporting everyday research and innovation practice and policymaking aimed at youth. The key findings of the paper stress that there is a need for: (i) building capacities in design for the intergenerational collaboration; (ii) a continuous promotion of open innovation of the study’s approach to research and innovation practice and policymaking; (iii) digitalisation of education and creating new opportunities for youth-led codesign and co-creation in the school context.
