✍️European Network of Agroecology Living Labs and Research Infrastructures: the 1st wave of applications is NOW OPEN
Do you operate a living lab (LL) or a research infrastructure (RI) that is actively contributing to the agroecology transition? Are you interested in connecting with similar initiatives to learn, grow, gain visibility, or cooperate?
The European Network of Agroecology LLs and RIs (the Network) connects participatory place-based innovations for enhancing knowledge sharing and for supporting multi-stakeholder co-creation of agroecology innovations across various scales in Europe. The membership provides the members a comprehensive suite of benefits dedicated to advancing open innovation and agroecology transition, such as:
🤝extensive networking (connection to various agri-food stakeholders and building relationships),
📚knowledge exchange, learning, information and data sharing between agroecology LLs and RIs,
🔬cooperation to develop and realise international research projects,
🌱diverse co-creation processes that create opportunity to improve agroecology practices and internal processes, and
✨increased visibility on an international scale.
❗Applications during the 1st wave can be submitted by 28 February 2025 by completing this online application form.
The aim of the survey is to identify and describe in detail already existing agroecology LLs and RIs across Europe interested in becoming members of the Network. This application survey should be completed by the representative of the applicant initiative (LL/RI). Applicants need to provide answers to questions designed to gather detailed information on their initiatives broken down into five main areas: Identity details, Activities, Objectives, Governance and Values. Applicants will be notified of the evaluation results by 15 April.
