Mapping stakeholders for Urban Living Lab development / 15.10.2021

URBANOME partners carried out a collaborative workshop to identify and structure stakeholder engagement as a core element of future Living Lab activities.

In October 2021, partners of the URBANOME project participated in a hands-on workshop focused on stakeholder mapping, organised by ENoLL, CdM, AMBIT, and ViLabs. The workshop brought together consortium members in a series of interactive exercises aimed at identifying key stakeholder groups and structuring their roles within the project.

Participants worked collaboratively to define primary and secondary stakeholders, while also building a shared understanding of their expertise, interests, and roles in decision-making processes. This included mapping actors across different sectors and governance levels, forming the basis for a structured and inclusive stakeholder database.

The activity represents a foundational step in the development of Urban Living Labs within URBANOME. Effective stakeholder mapping is essential for enabling co-creation, ensuring that relevant actors are involved throughout the research and innovation process, and supporting meaningful collaboration between citizens, policymakers, researchers, and industry.

By establishing a clear overview of stakeholders and their roles early in the project, the consortium laid the groundwork for participatory processes that are central to the Living Lab approach, including co-design, co-validation, and real-world experimentation.
