NEXUS Driven Open Living Labs Joint Action Plan

The Nexus Joint Action Plan (NJAP) has been designed as a policy-oriented outcome to drive management focus from inputs to outputs and boost the achievements and results of the Nexus Driven Open Living Labs (NDOLLs). It was initiated to address future Water, Energy and Food (WEF) Nexus challenges in European Union - Mediterranean Partnership Countries (EU-MPCs) through design thinking dynamics. In this sense, the NJAP depends on the capitalization of the outputs generated throughout the project activities.

RESTART MED - Official video of the MED Sustainable Tourism platform

The MED Sustainable Tourism is an initiative to promote Sustainable tourism in all Mediterranean countries.

Developed as a spin-off of CROSSDEV, MEDUSA, MED GAIMS and MED PEARLS projects, the MED Sustainable Tourism platform gathers guidelines and information about various kinds of sustainable tourism, such as Cultural Tourism, Adventure Tourism, Gamification in Tourism, and Slow Tourism. While being very peculiar in their own traits, they all share the same values, from the caring of environment to the wellbeing of local communities.

Best Practices in Water, Energy and Food Nexus ecosystem in the European-Mediterranean Partner Countries Region

This document summarizes the key findings derived from the NEX-LABS project activities analyzing a series of best practices in the current Water Energy and Food (WEF) ecosystem in the NEX-LABS project partnering countries.

This list of best practices is an essential ingredient for building a catalogue for the NEXUS ecosystem in the European - Mediterranean Partner Countries (EU-MPC) region.
The summarized findings were derived from a qualitative analysis approach that has been deployed to define the best practice per each country.

NEX-LABS Joint Action Plan Recommendations.

After setting the priorities, specific and targeted recommendations were found imperative to outline the action plan that would ultimately generate an informed strategy, supporting the implementation of Living Labs (LLs) and ensuring the success of the intended Water-Energy-Food (WEF) nexus approach. As such, consecutive sessions with partners were organized that were diverse and ranged between virtual meetings and in person workshops that resembled the intended LLs. The MURAL, an interactive online platform, was used to host partners of these projects and experts in the field, engaging in discussions and fulfilling tasks required for the development of the Nexus Joint Action Plan (NJAP). The MURAL incorporated a series of steps to be followed during various sessions. The tool built upon the recommendations from previous NEX-LABS activities, implementing measures to assess and prioritize the necessary actions. As such, over several meetings and focus group discussions, partners were able to assign several targeted actions for the pre-assigned recommendations, identify the timeline and impacts of the actions, assigned scores, and ranked the priorities, by that validating the
determined priorities.
