Ecosystems… Living Labs… Sustainability

INNOFIUS coaches organisations and networks to build ecosystems/living labs in a sustainable way.

INNOFIUS supported the European Network of Living Labs in setting up European Green deal proposals, Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe proposal for the upscaling of their Living Labs and for extended their current thematic ambitions. These proposal were awarded. Prepsoil for EU's Mission of Soil (5M) and oPenLab, on climate neutral neighbourhoods (5M).

VISTA college was supported in professionalising their staff in researching mature Living Labs and how they could learn from the mature Living Labs to make their own labs more sustainable.

Yuverta vocational education college Living Labs (called hotspots) we helped getting certified at a European level, in order to benchmark the quality of their hotspots. Currently we are professionalising Yuverta's college staff on how to further develop their many ecosystems (public private partnerships, Livings Labs but also communities of practices)

Furthermore we advise the MBO educational council on the upscaling op ecosystems (learning communities, as an umbrella term) and the Learning Long Learning Catalyser of the National Growth fund.

INNOFIUS can support in building, upscaling ecosystems regionally and improving their impact locally. Our seniors have a sound base in research on the sustainability of Living Labs.
