DESCRIPTION

During this event, Living Labs tackling climate change and ocean literacy will share their experiences and discuss the challenges and successes of projects related to climate change, environment, and ocean literacy. Are you in a Living Lab that is working to tackle climate change and ocean literacy? Do you have an innovative project that has positively impacted your local community? If so, we invite you to submit your case study for selection for the SCORE event. This event will provide a platform for Living Labs to share their experiences and discuss the challenges and successes of projects related to climate change, environment, and ocean literacy.
 
We are looking for case studies that showcase successful projects that have improved their local communities and climate-related issues to be presented during the SCORE Event during OLLD. Several case studies will be presented, followed by panel discussions. Additionally, the top selected case studies will be invited to contribute to a policy brief to be shared with relevant stakeholders and decision-makers.
 
 
The case studies will focus on:
 
  • How Living Labs can contribute to the transition towards a more sustainable society;
  • How Living Labs can help to develop, test, and implement innovative solutions (or by applying digital platforms) to tackle climate change and ocean literacy by involving citizens and stakeholders in the co-creation process;
  • How Living Labs can contribute to the development of a new paradigm of innovation that is more human-centred, democratic, and sustainable.
This event is free of charge but seats are limited and registration is required: register here by September 5!
 

Here you can find the announcement flyer for further reference.

Here you can find more information about the call for the case studies and the submission.
