| Sumario: | Research for impact in the CGIAR Multifunctional Landscapes Program is implemented with partners and stakeholders in Living Labs. Living labs are gaining momentum as sub-national territories within which sustainable food system transformation is sought through multi-stakeholder engagement processes. According to the European Network of Living Labs (ENoLL), Living Labs are defined as “user-centered, open innovation ecosystems based on a systematic user co-creation approach, integrating research and innovation processes in real-life communities and settings”. In other words, Living Labs are intended to address complex situations and challenges requiring multi-scalar, multi-actor, multi-dimensional and holistic solutions.
In an internal seminar held in September 2025, CGIAR Multifunctional Science Program addressed the crucial question: how to define (and name) our arenas of engagement, and how do we effectively engage in and with them.
