Case study bazaar: Agro-ecosystem Living Labs and the Science-Policy Interface

Participants will ‘browse’ through various case studies that showcase the interactions between Agroecosystem Living Labs and the Science-Policy Interface. The objective is to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of multiple approaches to the science-policy interface in Agroecosystem Living Labs through real-world examples and direct interaction with presenters. Each case study will be presented at a unique ‘stall’ where a speaker, acting as the stallholder, presents their testimony with the help of a visual poster. Case studies will be selected to highlight different factors and approaches to the science-policy interface, including:

•  Policy labs

•  Evidence-producing living labs

•  Top-down processes:

•  Bottom-up processes
