Living Lab Research Concept in Rural Areas
LIVERUR is an EU funded research and innovation project dedicated to improve existing business structures in rural areas by helping Rural Entrepreneurs implement a circular economy based approach, which has been validated in 12 selected pilot zones all over Europe and Tunisia. The RegionAl cIrcular liviNg lab business model (RAIN) concept and platform, following recent EU and national strategies, were designed to support the rural development policies’ actuation, helping local and regional actors to put the research approaches into practice. The implementation of the Circular Rural Living Labs showed that the platform can benefit the entrepreneurs by covering the need for ensuring the long-term viability and sustainability by enriching the core business activities in rural areas with the RAIN principles (Ecological, Economic and Social Sustainability / Circular Economy /Open Innovation / ICT infrastructure and capacity / Stakeholder Involvement).

Club GREY HORSE – Providing multiple ecosystems services by forest renters
This case study is drafting new legislation that allows renting forestland for multiple purposes in order to increase economic efficiency and maintain a balance between all ecosystem services. This Russian case works on regulation mechanisms so that people renting forestland can use it for multiple purposes, and to include ecosystem services in the Forest Code.
Spiritual forests and forest kindergartens
This factsheet explores how managing forests to be used as spiritual forests and forest kindergartens could benefit both the forest and the forest owner. The core impact of the case study is to raise awareness of the importance of cultural ecosystem services and to motivate forest actors to manage forests appropriately.
Forests for water in Catalonia
This innovation case is strengthening the link between forests and water with the overall aim of diversifying financing sources for forest management by integrating ecosystem service provision into the economic balance sheet. Work includes integration in the Urban Masterplan for the Rialb Reservoir where different local stakeholders (economic, tourism, water and others) are already working together. The aim is for written recognition in a legal document of the role of forestry in water and landscape conservation, and the recognition of forestry as a potentially relevant economic activity in the area that can be promoted along with tourism. The innovation action also works with the public Segre-Rialb Consortium to assess the suitability of a payment for ecosystem services scheme in relation to water in the area.
