Application form: European Network of Agroecology Living Labs and Research Infrastructures

  The Agroecology Partnership (funded by Horizon Europe framework programme under grant agreement No. 101132349) has the ambitious mission to coordinate efforts, pool resources, and facilitate the transition to agroecology across Europe, by building on participatory research approaches such as Living Labs (LL) and Research Infrastructures (RI). To achieve this, one of the goals of the Partnership is to build a European Network of Agroecology LLs and RIs (hereafter the Network) – already launched in June 2024 - that connects these participatory place-based innovations for enhancing knowledge sharing and for supporting multi-stakeholder co-creation of agroecology innovations across various scales in Europe. Moreover, the Network also aims to understand how agroecology LLs and RIs can complement one another and collaborate in order to achieve agroecology transition, while it focuses on building synergies with other international networks to shape the global discourse on agroecology and contribute to related science-policy dialogues at different levels.

This survey has been launched by the Network Coordination of the AGROECOLOGY Partnership with the aim to identify and describe in detail already existing agroecology LLs and RIs across Europe interested in becoming members of the Network. This application survey should be completed by the representative of the applicant initiative (LL/RI). Applicants need to provide answers to questions designed to gather detailed information on their initiatives broken down into five main areas: Identity details, Activities, Objectives, Governance and Values.

Please complete the following survey by submitting existing agroecology LL or RI that your organisation hosts or affiliated with. If you are affiliated with or know more than one initiative, please forward this survey to the respective LL/RI manager for completion. If you manage more than one initiative, please complete one survey per initiative.

For more information on the application process and benefits of the membership, please visit the application guideline document on the website. In addition, before completing the online form, we recommend that you review the PDF version of the full questionnaire to prepare your answers ahead.

The form takes approx. 45 minutes to complete, and it is open until 31 March 2026. Applicants will be notified of the evaluation results by 15 May.
