We are very thrilled to announce that as of today, we are officially collaborating with ten partners in the Living Lab projects starting February 2020: Municipality Leeuwarden (Economic Affairs), Global Center on Climate Adaptation, Amnesty International, Fries Social Planbureau, House of Design & IT ERFskip, Municipality Leeuwarden (Sustainability & Waste), ELODEA, Wetterskip Fryslan, Friesland College and Waterschap Zuiderzeeland.

During the Official Signing Ceremony, supervisors of the partner organisations and supervisors of UCF signed the Letters of Engagement, indicating the intention to collaborate on the diverse research projects. A number of partners were present to explicate their societal challenge, ranging from questions on waste separation and SDG monitoring, to social inclusion and climate resilient food production. We look forward to a valuable and constructive collaboration!
