Description

The Blue4all project (Horizon Europe, grant agreement 101094014) carried out a Needs Assessment in its Living Labs with the Stakeholder Engagement Groups (SEGs). In the Needs Assessment, stakeholders addressed needs specific for their stakeholder group and the Living Lab, enabling the project to select relevant sets of tools and adapt them for their Living Lab. Based on the SEGs' inputs, the existing socio-economic, governmental, environmental and ecological tools were further adapted by WP2 and WP3 to the specific needs and conservation and management objectives in each Living Lab. The outcomes of the Needs Assessment were reported by each Living Lab in different formats.
