Description

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.
