👀Looking back on a fruitful 1st annual meeting of the European Network of Agroecology Living Labs and Research Infrastructures, held in Helsinki on 6-8 November 2024. The event was organized jointly by ÖMKI and LUKE. 🎯 The main objectives of the meeting were to help the members get familiar with one another and to launch or continue co-learning and co-creation activities that support the continuous building of the Network 🤓✨. The Network, with 17 members in total, was represented by 13 members (10 Living Labs 🌱 and 3 Research Infrastructures 🔬) over the course of two and a half days. 📖You can read the full recap on our website: https://lnkd.in/dGCAy9dv 🤝🏼Interested in becoming a member?
