Lead institution: Wageningen University

Objectives:

  • To operationalize the living lab methodology and to organize joint knowledge production with relevant stakeholder groups and set up, maintain and coordinate the Living Labs;
  • To facilitate an iterative process between WP4 activities and the joint knowledge production in the Living Labs;
  •  To test and compliment the WP4 integrated assessment with field experiences and formulate future pathways to achieve zero pollution for three EU regional seas;
  • To assess the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of regional scenarios towards zero pollution with stakeholder groups;
  • To ensure that the main outputs of WP3 are fed into the Living Lab Parliament in WP5.
