In a continuous effort to strengthen living lab communities around the Mediterranean region, the OurMED team in Turkey recently undertook a significant trip to Konya. The main objective of this visit was to establish and consolidate the living lab community in the region, a crucial step towards achieving sustainable and collaborative solutions for local challenges.
During their stay, the OurMED team interacted with about 20 stakeholders, including policymakers, civil society organizations, and local farmers. These interactions, which took place throughout the second week of February 2024, were focused on introducing the team and project, as well as identifying the main challenges these stakeholders face.
A living Lab workshop is scheduled for April 25th in Konya, marking the formal beginning of this collaboration. This event will offer the opportunity to share ideas, discuss challenges, and plan future actions.
The OurMED team remains committed to its goal of promoting sustainable and collaborative solutions for global challenges, and this initiative in Konya is just one of many examples of our dedication to this cause.
