Living labs and lighthouses HORIZON-CL6-2025-01-BIODIV-07

Korowód Foundation | Regenerating Land, Water & Culture in Our Bioregion
📍 Sudeten Mountains & Upper Oder River Watershed, Poland

Korowód is forming a multi-stakeholder consortium for the call HORIZON-CL6-2025-01-BIODIV-07: Living labs and lighthouses for forests and freshwater ecosystems restoration.

Our Living Lab vision is rooted in the belief that bioregions are living systems—where land, water, and people co-evolve through culture, ecology, and daily life. We work to restore these relationships by co-creating demonstration landscapes that combine:

🌱 Agroecology & Agroforestry – regenerative land use adapted to local context
💧 Watershed Stewardship – restoring hydrological cycles through catchment-level collaboration
🌾 Soil Health & Biodiversity – revitalization of degraded soils and biodiversity corridors
🥕 Resilient Food Systems – short supply chains and regenerative value chains rooted in place
🌀 Participatory Governance & Cultural Narratives – inclusive processes and storytelling that reconnect people to land

We are seeking partners with experience in:
✔️ Nature-based solutions, landscape restoration & agroecological research
✔️ Ecosystem monitoring, digital tools, and community science
✔️ Rural innovation, territorial food systems, and bioeconomy models
✔️ Arts, culture, and participatory governance methodologies

Let’s build together a Europe of place-based regeneration—where living labs become real-world lighthouses for thriving landscapes and communities.

If you are building similar alliances or working on integrated solutions within the Horizon Europe Cluster 6 framework, we would love to connect.
