Stakeholder participation through Living Labs in PHUSICOSPlanning, co-designing and implementing nature-based solutions in rural mountain areas

PHUSICOS is a H2020 project started in May 2018 under SC5-08, funded by European Union (Grant 776681)

Isar Concept case, a Learningcase for NBS and Living Labs

• Presents a successfully implemented river restorationusing a Living Lab approach

• Widely recognized as a good practice example• Key success factors• Broad participation• Open-minded administration• Polycentric governance structures• Building trust and confidence• Creation of co-benefits by NBS solution e.g.

increased recreation qualities with river restoration

ObjectivePHUSICOS ‘According to nature’, in Greek φυσικός

• Demonstrates the effectiveness of nature-basedsolutions (NBSs) and their ability to reduce the impactsfrom small, frequent events in rural mountainlandscapes

• One key element is engaging a diverse range ofstakeholders from the four sectors academia, privatesector, public sector and as well as civil societyforming a quadruple helix innovation network to beset up at the different case sites using a Living Labapproach

A Living Lab approach for stakeholder involvementAfter the setup of a Living Lab engaging stakeholdersfrom the four sectors at each large-scale demonstratorsite, the Living Labs to work on NBS. The work has threephases:

• Phase 1: contextual understanding, exploration and NBS selection

• Phase 2: Co-design and refinement of selected NBS.

• Phase 3: Evaluation of designed NBS solution

First findings from Demonstrator CasesPositive perception, increased acceptance andwillingness to implement NBS by:

• Deep involvement of actors

• Building new networks with other stakeholder groups

• Learning opportunities on NBS

• Opportunities to get involved, being heard

• Influence on agendas and topics

• different views and perspectives being considered andpicked up

Partners

Quadruple helix innovation network model - key characteristic of the Living Labs in NBS co-development (Fohlm. et al, 2018; Smida)

Five innovation actions

• Stakeholder participation through Living Labs

• Comprehensive framework for assessing, monitoring and verifying different aspects of NBS performance

• Governance innovation

• Learning arenas

• Data platform

Case sites illustrate need and potential of NBS and represent different stages on NBS implementation in rural and mountain areas
