Cities2030 work package no. 5 has built an innovation action database.
The database contains innovation actions of the City Region Food System (CRFS) Living Labs. Action types are experiments, capacity building actions, external funding actions, system thinking pilots, and other innovation actions. The target fields of the actions are the city region, the project beneficiaries or another audience. By today the innovation action database contains 105 data rows.
The database is a tool to map, monitor, assess, document and share innovation actions. Altogether 16 of 18 City Region Food System Living Labs have so far uploaded and updated the data of innovation actions into the database.
The data is originated from the public and official deliverable D5.5 which describes 15 Living Labs’ actions plans. By now, 16 operative Living Labs have extended and updated the data by the info of experiments, by capacity building actions (deliverable D5.1) and by system thinking pilots.
The Cities2030 Living Labs have now implemented their action plans almost one year. The labs share the actions, results, learning and observations also at Cities2030 Community platform.
The action plans and their implementation will advance City Region Food Systems (CRFS) transition towards FOOD 2030 policy.
The innovation action database is a result of the common efforts of the work package 5. Tuula Löytty from Smart & Lean Hub Oy leads and coordinates the work package 5 which encompasses five tasks.
FOR INCREASED TRANSPARENCY
Since the Cities2030 is financed by public funds (#Horizon2020 program), the project actively engages in communication activities, promotes the project and publicly acknowledge the EU support.
Project publishes most of the official deliverables publicly to advance transparency in Living Labs actions and achievements, to connect separate local efforts with other networks to strenghten communities of practices, and to share good/promising practices with food system developers.
Cities2030 supports knowledge exchange, open access at innovation ecosystems, and European Commission principle “as open as possible, as closed as necessary”.
