​The Living Labs (LLs), established under the GRANULAR project, are using tools to gather data and improve decision making and management systems in rural areas. This initiative aims to ensure that cutting-edge solutions are accessible and beneficial to rural practitioners. 

This webinar will disseminate the tools developed by the GRANULAR Living Labs, based on the project’s Practices Abstracts, providing practical recommendations and insights to rural practitioners. The event also seeks to showcase the role of Living Labs (from GRANULAR and beyond) in driving transformative change in rural areas. By showcasing these advancements, the event will highlight the take-away messages and good practices derived from the activities of LLs regarding the use of novel data methods to guide policy, fostering a collaborative environment for continued innovation and development.
