SOILL Stepup, project in which ERRIN is a partner, has launched three Working Groups to provide a dedicated space for knowledge exchange among Mission Soil Living Labs and local ecosystems, with the aim of advancing soil health at the territorial level.  

This initiative responds directly to the growing need for structured knowledge exchange and collaboration as the implementation of the 45 Mission Soil Living Labs progresses across Europe and a new wave of Living Labs prepares to begin activities this year. 

The Working Groups focus on the following topics:  
 
a) Living Lab foundation and governance,  

b) Stakeholder engagement in Living Labs,  

c) Soil Biodiversity. 

While they are designed primarily for the Mission Soil Living Labs, participation is also open to other key stakeholder groups, including local and regional authorities, committed to soil health. 

The Working Groups operates through the SOILL Hub, combining interactive peer-learning sessions (approximately three per year for each WG), with a dedicated online space. This space will enable participants to network, share best practices and exchange knowledge on an ongoing basis. 

We invite all interested individuals to register to the WGs via the link below: 

•  Living Labs Foundations and Governance  
•  Stakeholder engagement in the Living Labs  
•  Soil Biodiversity  

By accessing the group, individuals can check the action plans, save the date for the next WG meeting, and network directly with the other participants involved.  

When registering, please add your region, connection with the Living Labs (if any) and a short paragraph motivating your interest. Depending on the interest, individuals can register to more than one Working Group. 

Please find here the user guide to access the Working Groups.
