Co-evaluate phase

You have learned so much implementing your living lab, which may have produced outcomes of relevance far beyond your region. It’s time to acknowledge this. By the end of this phase, you will have evaluated the credibility, legitimacy and usability (CLU) of your living lab, its effectiveness at delivering the co-designed ambitions, and its potential to inspire and empower communities elsewhere for long-lasting socio-ecological transformation.

Co‑evaluation steps

Evaluate the living lab process

In this step, you will collaboratively evaluate the process, outcomes, and the potential of your living lab to drive socioecological transformation.

Upscaling

In this final step, you will appraise the potential of your living labs outcomes to contribute to upscaling efforts and enable socio-ecological transformation on a broader scale. You will also seek to identify any new ideas worthy of a new dedicated living lab.
