Living labs for forest soils: connecting the pieces
Join us for an insightful webinar focused on the critical role of living labs in addressing forest soil challenges and exploring innovative solutions for forest soils. The event will bring together experts from various fields to discuss the integration of research, industry, government, and citizen engagement in preserving and managing forest soils. This webinar is organised in the framework of the NATI00NS project, whose main aim is to promote the Mission Soil Living Labs topics as part of the 2023-2025 Work Programme of Horizon Europe. NATI00NS is also organising national events, providing access to materials and information as well as stimulating discussions on the set-up of Living Labs (LLs) to address specific soil needs in different local and regional contexts.

This first event in the 2024 series of webinar covers basic aspects revolving around views and contributions of different stakeholders in government, research, industry and citizens to the creation of a living lab for forest health soils in the Baltic region, northern Europe. With the use of case studies from Sweden, Lithuania and Poland, we explore projects in health soils from an academic, government and landowner perspective respectively. The target audience will be governmental agencies, researchers, forest industry, forest landowners, and students in the Baltic region interested in improving their understanding of living labs for healthy forest soils and the possibilities to apply for the Calls.
