A how-to guide for Policy Labs
The Policy Lab Guide is a work-in-progress project to guide researchers and practictioners in the development of Policy Labs for Agri-environmental Measures within the setting of Living Labs. The guide is designed to be a practical resource for those looking to co-design, test and evaluate policy interventions in collaboration with stakeholders, providing recommended methods for each step of the process.
It offers two ways in: a concept diagram that lays out the Policy Lab phases in a visual format, and a searchable methods library where every method can be filtered by phase, actor, effort, and skill level.
The guide is being developed collaboratively with colleagues at ZALF: Bettina Matzdorf, Joana Iwaniw, Ben Black, and Sebastian Rogga. But in the near future we hope to open the guide up for contributions from the wider community of researchers and practitioners working in the field of policy co-design and Living Labs especially within the IAT. Please get in touch if you would like to contribute or provide feedback on the guide
