This document is Deliverable D4.1 in the Work package (WP) 4 “Implementation and Sustainability of the Network” of the ALL-Ready project. WP 4 aims to provide an implementation plan that ensures the added value and sustainability of the European Network of Living Labs and Research Infrastructures capturing and promoting long-term processes of transitions to agroecology. This report includes the results of Task 4.1 “Identification of the added value of the European Network”.

The overall objective of this Deliverable (D4.1) is to improve the understanding of the potential added value of a European Network of Living Labs and Research Infrastructures in addressing key challenges of the community of agroecology LLs and RIs and promoting transitions towards agroecology. The report analyses and synthesises key challenges and needs in the community of agroecology Living Labs and Research Infrastructures and the potential benefits they expect from a European Network based on the mapping activities in WP2, pilot network workshops in WP3 and additional empirical data collection done through interviews with a selection of Living Labs, Research Infrastructures, other open innovation arrangements (OIA) and funding organisations. It explored the added value of the European Network of Living Labs and Research Infrastructures in contributing to addressing those challenges and its contributions to key activities and values of transitions to agroecology.
