Introduction with Keynotes Lectures:

Living Labs in the Science-Policy Interface

Lectures on the following topics:

• What is a Living Lab and how can be used as a tool in the Science-Policy interface?
• What is a Policy Lab?
• What are the Defining Characteristics of Agroecosystem Living Labs?
• What is the difference between advising and involving and co-creating policymakers and stakeholders in the science-policy interface?
• What is the difference between an evidence-producing Living Lab and a Policy Lab?

Same as above.

11.30-13.00

Case study bazaar: Agroecosystem Living Labs and the Science-Policy Interface

Participants will ‘browse’ through various case studies that showcase the interactions between Agroecosystem Living Labs and the Science-Policy Interface. The objective is to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of multiple approaches to the science-policy interface in Agroecosystem Living Labs through real-world examples and direct interaction with presenters. Each case study will be presented at a unique ‘stall’ where a speaker, acting as the stallholder, presents their testimony with the help of a visual poster. Case studies will be selected to highlight different factors and approaches to the science-policy interface, including:

•             Policy labs

•             Evidence-producing living labs

•             Top-down processes: (e.g. Living Laboratories Initiative in Canada)

•             Bottom-up processes 

Perspectives from different actors around a Living Lab: Organisers vs. Researchers vs Policymakers vs. Other Stakeholders (e.g. Occitanum Living Lab, FoodPilot Living Lab, AGROFORSYLL Living Lab)

13.00-13.45

Lunch

 

13.45-14.30

Gathering ideas: Silent Brainstorm

Introduction (5mins)

Participants put up post-its on posters with different questions in silence (20 min) (see below)

•             How to incentivise the involvement of policymakers (local, regional, city, and national)?

•             How do we maintain scientific integrity when using a co-creation stakeholder approach?

•             Keys to success: Driving actors: what is the difference between top-down vs bottom-up processes

•             How to deal with different values and framings from different stakeholders?

•             How do living labs and policy labs relate to or feed into policy processes? (including emerging processes such as citizen assemblies?)

•             How to ensure living labs are transformative or have the intended impact?

•             How to make sure the living lab/policy lab is equitable and just?

Participants go to the posters they want to discuss further and 1 of the organizers/taskforce are standing with each poster.
