European Network of Agroecology Living Labs and Research Infrastructures: 1st wave of applications

Do you operate a living lab (LL) or a research infrastructure (RI) that is actively contributing to the agroecology transition? Are you interested in connecting with similar initiatives to learn, grow, gain visibility, or cooperate?

The Agroecology Partnership has opened the first wave of membership applications for the European Network of Agroecology Living Labs and Research Infrastructures.

Members of the Network get access to extensive connections with agri-food stakeholders, learning resources and data sharing between living labs and research infrastructures. They also get to cooperate on international projects and participate to the co-creation of process improvements.

Deadline: 28 February 2025

The perceptions of users with a view to improving access to environmental RIs: fill in the survey

My name is Omobola Eko, a PhD student from the University of Tuscia, Italy, working on the terrestrial biosphere environmental domain. I am conducting a survey that intends to capture the perceptions of the users of environmental network data, with the goal of identifying the barriers that could limit the accessibility to environmental RI data and enabling factors that could promote data integration.

Your feedback will be invaluable in helping me understand how data are used and how we can improve its accessibility and usability.

This online survey includes 11 sections and should take about 20 minutes to be completed:

Your feedback is invaluable to advancing this research, and I sincerely appreciate your time and input.
