Supporting the sustainable long-term implementation of a European Network of Agroecology Living Labs and Research Infrastructures : Policy brief

2023

Key factors for a successful implementation of a European Network of Agroecology Living Labs and Research Infrastructures include: Enabling adaptive governance that responds to changes in size and experiences of its members will utilise the benefits from the diversity of the network composition. Generating evidence on the benefits of developing and participating in the European Network to foster buy-in and commitment from funding organisations and LLs and RIs. Research policies and funding requirements need to recognize the long-term nature of network implementation and required continuity in political and financial investment that go beyond standard R&I project cycles. Funding of such a transdisciplinary network and its long-term implementation and management needs to embrace changing roles and responsibilities of different types of actors and dynamic action plans of the network.
