SOILL has launched three dedicated Working Groups — collaborative spaces designed to deepen knowledge exchange, strengthen governance practices, and drive meaningful progress in soil health across the European continent.
The Working Groups are primarily designed for Mission Soil Living Labs, addressing the specific challenges they face in establishing and running effective Living Labs. Participation is also open to existing European Soil Living Labs, emerging Living Lab initiatives, and other stakeholder groups committed to soil health — based on expertise and motivation. All groups operate through the SOILL Hub.
- WG1 Living Lab Foundations & Governance
Focuses on the foundational structures and governance models needed to establish and sustain effective Living Labs — covering design, decision-making processes, and long-term operational frameworks.
- WG2 Stakeholder Engagement in Living Labs
Addresses how Living Labs can involve and co-create with their stakeholders — including farmers, researchers, local authorities, and civil society — throughout the lifecycle of the Lab.
- WG 3 Soil Biodiversity
Brings together knowledge on soil biodiversity indicators, monitoring approaches, and practices that Living Labs can apply to assess and improve the biological health of their soils.
